crochet stitches

I'm working on a new hat pattern! I was feeling a little lost at what to do next after releasing the Knarr patterns earlier this year. As the weather started to warm up again, I pulled out my warmer weather clothes which included my Frith Hats and Tops.

A step-by-step guide to making one of the most beautiful crochet stitches The star stitch is my current favourite stitch for creating pretty texture and areas of interest in crochet. However, it wasn’t always a perfect love affair. The first time I came across Star stitch was in a vintage stitch dictionary. I happily made a piece of crochet fabric, hoping to create a rectangle which I could use to form the back of a Poldark-inspired jacket.

This hat was designed to go with the Amanita Sweater. You can buy the Amanita Sweater Pattern on Ravelry. This is a measure-along pattern with instructions rather than specific rows and stitch counts. I have included information about my gauge, the yarn and hook I used but as this is a measure along you work from your own gauge swatch and do not need to match mine.
