COOL SPRING FASHION

FEBRUARY DREAMING
Christmas and New Year are long gone ....  and spring is just around the corner...
well, at least one hope's it won't be too long ???

Springtime flowering is the most exciting time of the year for me... watching and waiting for the first blossoms...
and with a mild winter here in Kent some trees and blossoms have bloomed early...
only to be caught out by the latest snowfall and freezing temperatures...
alas, it is a shame... but it is early days yet and spring is still on it's way!

SPRING CROCHET
So with the cool spring weather in mind I have this NEW super sweet hat pattern for those fresh, spring days...
a little bit art deco... and something my grandmother would of worn in her "hey day" in France.
A touch of the flappers and the 1920's...

Crochet it in Rowan Wool Cotton DK or James C. Brett Pure Merino DK ...
using a 4.5mm hook.

The pattern has a beautifully intriguing stitch pattern... and a totally brand new flower pattern.


Recognize this?
This pattern is a revamp of my Crochet Hat Baby Girl FANS... includes:-

  • rewritten instructions... 
  • child, teen, adult sizing...
  • different yarn and hook size...
  • totally different hat brim...
  • AND brand new flower...
You can find the pattern here...
BARBARA SUMMERS HAND KNIT AND CROCHET

and later you may also find it on
  ETSY,  FOLKSY AND RAVELRY...
so you can shop in your favourite shopping destination.




FYI
There is nothing wrong with the previous version of the pattern Crochet Hat Baby Girl FANS... 
I just wanted to give it a fresh look and an alternative brim and totally new flower... 
with the benefit of adult sizing included.
