Posh Pooch Designs : Velvet Stocking Hat Crochet Pattern

Velvet Stocking Hat Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Velvet Stocking Hat is a lot of fun to stitch up.

Do not be intimidated By Velvet Yarns. The key

to working with them is to loosen your tension

up just a little.

The Pattern is easy, because it is stitched in basic stitches

but we placed it at Easy to Moderate because

of the velvet yarn.

I really like this Velvet Yarn From Hobby Lobby,

called Velvety Smooth. It is smooth and easy to crochet with,

but also it is a medium (4) so any pattern written for

medium (4) Yarns will work with this yarn.

The Pattern is Written For 22 - 24 inch heads,

but keep in mind the hat band is quite stretchy,

and may nee to adjust your hook size for a good fit.

The hat's design is a long slouchy fit.

I Love The Sparkle in the yarn and chose to use "antique"

colors for a little bit different look. Of course you can

choose any colors you prefer.
