Yarn for the Winter Seashore Hat

The crochet Winter Seashore hat was made with a yarn from Patons called Alpaca Blend. The color used on the beanie pictured is the color called Celestial.

What’s so great about the Alpaca Blend yarn is the fact that it is yarn weight 5, but doesn’t feel to thick. It’s still great to work with.

It’s also really soft & warm, which makes it a pleasure to use & wear.

  • This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
  • All measurements given are unblocked.
  • Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
  • Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
  • Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
