February Featured Pattern and Crochet-Along: Alpine Hat

On into February and the days are (just starting) to get longer!  But, I don't know about you, but my ears are always cold when I'm out and about on the cold Winter days.  Luckily, the Alpine hat is specifically designed to go over headphones and hair buns, to help keep your ears warm! 

It's available at 50% off (currently $3.00 CAD, regular price, $6.00 CAD)! Use the code FebFeatPatt2022 after clicking the button below!

This hat was one of my early forays into crochet design, worked up in the wonderfully squishy and dense Alpine Stitch! The hat comes down over the back of the neck and over the ears, with a dense stitch pattern to keep the wind away and the sizing runs a touch large, to go over headphones, ponytails, and hair buns! It starts at the crown with a crochet magic loop, then increases out to the full head circumference. The Alpine Stitch tends to curl, so a few rows of single and double crochet round out the bottom rim.

Sample is done in Wool is the Answer's Merino/Nylon Fingering with Neps, in the colourway "Mustard", held double.  If looking to substitute yarn, you can work with 1 strand of DK or light worsted, or two strands of fingering held double. 

This pattern has written instructions, and the stitch pattern is both written and charted. This pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software. This option includes only the written instruction.

You can buy the pattern through Etsy, or in my Web Shop, the discount is available on both platforms. The discount should be be visible on Etsy, To get the discount on my web shop, you can use the coupon code "FebFeatPatt2022"
