The Yarn
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.

THE QUICK WINTER CROCHET PROJECT
This crochet hat is quick to make, at least that’s my experience with it.
It’s made with bulky yarn and it’s super soft and warm to wear.
How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

*2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.

- Pull tight & fasten thread.
- Fasten all threads & weave in ends.
