Wheat Hat by Kinga Erdem
The Wheat Hat, designed by Kinga Erdem, is a beautifully textured crochet pattern that complements the previously released Wheat Scarf, forming a stylish winter set.
I am the type of crafter that I always have multiple projects on the go. The endless blanket project, the complicated pattern that needs your undivided attention, and then something to get that dopamine rush from completing a project. Hats are a go to for that quick and easy project to check off the finished object list.
Perhaps it is because my skills as a crocheter have been improving, but I recently have been really enjoying crochet patterns with texture. The cross-over cables is something I have never done in crochet before. I have knit hundreds of cables but can you believe I had never crocheted one?
This pattern is a perfect mix of simplicity and texture which makes it a perfect project for making while relaxing. Turn on your favourite show and grab your crochet hook! This is a great crochet hat pattern to make today.
