I came across to this interesting stitch diagram on pinterest. I believe it was copied from a pattern book. As long as I have the “picture” I just need to try any kind of a project.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This stitch is quite simple and due to its structure it is perfect for spring-summer season so I made it to the hat, size 41-42 cm (3-6 months). If you need bigger size, you can add more CH in between the clusters in present pattern or you can add more rows of HDC in the beginning and then continue with the present pattern (you will have more “columns” and thus bigger size). Also If you use bigger hook\/different yarn, you will end up with different sizing.<\/p>\n
I tested newly released yarn to the Czech market. It is a Turkish yarn, Gazzal Baby Cotton XL. Here is the company definition:<\/strong><\/p>\n I recommend bigger hook. The project will be far softer and breathable. I also shot a video (Czech only) but I recommend to watch it for better pattern understanding.<\/p>\n Spring-summer hat, Gazzal Cotton XL, 41-42 cm\/14 cm depth<\/strong> US terminology:<\/strong> Each row starts with either 1 CH = Single Crochet or 2 CH = Half Double Crochet\/double crochet and ends with SlSt.<\/p>\n Gazzal Cotton XL, hook 6 mm, first color<\/strong><\/p>\n 1st row: 9\u00a0HDC in MC, SlSt From here please watch the video first.<\/strong> Hook 5 mm, second color<\/strong> Hook 5 mm, first color<\/strong> Finish<\/strong> This pattern is for a personal use only.
