Introduction
- The pattern covers instructions for making a crochet hat and cowl set.
- Homespun yarn, favored for its rich texture and color, is used.
- The cowl is easy to make, while the hat involves slightly more complex techniques.
Materials Needed
- Homespun yarn (or any 5-weight bulky yarn, preferably a smaller size 5).
- An 8mm crochet hook.
- A needle for weaving in ends.
- Scissors.
Understanding the Pattern
- The design predominantly uses V-stitches, which consist of a double crochet, chain one, and another double crochet (dc, ch 1, dc).
Creating the Cowl
- Foundation Chain: Start with a slip knot on the hook and chain 18.
- First Row: Double crochet into the fourth chain from the hook. Skip two chains, then work a V-stitch into the next chain. Repeat to establish four V-stitches, ending with two double crochets.
- Repeat Rows:
- Chain one, turn your work.
- Double crochet into the first two doubles.
- V-stitch into each chain space from the previous row.
- Double crochet into the last two stitches.
- Continue until the piece measures 23 inches.
- Finishing:
- Bring the two ends together and single crochet across to join.
- Weave in ends.
Creating the Hat
- Foundation Circle:
- Chain six and slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Work 12 double crochets into the ring.
- Increasing Rounds:
- Round 2: Work two double crochets into each stitch (24 total).
- Round 3: Begin V-stitch pattern, skipping one stitch and V-stitching into the next (12 V-stitches).
- V-stitch Rounds:
- Round 4: Add V-stitches between the existing V-stitches to expand (16 V-stitches).
- Round 5: Continue increasing similarly to achieve 21 V-stitches.
- Body Rounds:
- Rounds 6-11: Maintain 21 V-stitches by V-stitching into each chain space.
- Finishing:
- Round 12: Half double crochet into each stitch (including chains and doubles).
- Slip stitch to finish and weave in ends.
Conclusion
Both the cowl and the hat employ a repeated pattern of V-stitches, supported by straightforward instructions and consistent stitch work, making this set a beautiful and warm addition to any winter wardrobe. The project is designed to be accessible, emphasizing crochet techniques suitable for all skill levels.
