Columbia River Cabled Hat | We Crochet Magazine, Issue 4

COLUMBIA RIVER CABLET HAT | FREE CROCHET PATTERN

My publications of 2020… well, I almost did not submitted last time, but have at least 4 publications to share, probably you saw some of them.

So, first is Columbia River Cable Hat for We Crochet magazine. I’m definitely hooked on crochet cables, done some designs and have tons of ideas, but my current To-Do-List is first 🙈🙃

 

COLUMBIA RIVER CABLE HAT

Named after the great Pacific Northwest river, the Columbia River Cable Hat is crocheted in a striking combination of popcorn stitches and post stitches that create a stunning allover pattern reminiscent of the swirls and eddies of a river.

Not only this hat is made with absolutely stunning Andean Treasure 100% baby alpaca yarn, but also pattern is available for free download at crochet.com.
