Week #3 PEACEFUL Hat

Here we are in Week #3 for Sleep Hats, and I hope you enjoyed making the first Week #1 SLEEPY Hat and also the second Week #2 DROWSY Hat.

This week I have focused on producing a hat with a closer weave in the body of the hat, using single crochet stitches in a small V-st, and also using two (2) colours again. Of course as always, you can make your hat with only one (1) colour or more colours if you wish.

PEACEFUL Hat is made with my favourite cotton yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills (BWM), it is cotton 8ply and you can substitute the yarn if you wish, just remember to check the YARNSUB website, to get the best match.
