the lookSo, you want a knit cap, but aren't a knitter. Let me introduce you to this fun little stitch.
Oh, and by the way, there's nothing wrong with preferring the "look" of knitting over crochet for some projects. This hat is made using a stitch of many names:

  • Waistcoat Stitch
  • Russian Cross Stitch
  • Knit Stitch
  • Center Single Crochet

Whatever you choose to call it, I just call it fun! It's a great stitch to add to your skill set and it's a little like magic to say, "No, it's crochet."revel signature logo

about the yarnIf you, like me, tend to avoid bulky yarn because of the stiffness and heaviness that is often the result, I recommend you give hue + me a try.This yarn is produced by Lion Brand, but is designed by Alexandra Tavel, a lovely knit and crochet designer. The blend of 80% Acrylic 20% Wool is wash & dryable. The wool adds a nice squishy factor to the yarn that keeps it from being a hefty, unmovable fabric. Also, the colors it comes in.... dreamy, all matching, subtle and gorgeous.
