Braids and Weaves Alpaca Hat Crochet Pattern Download

Description

This is my personal go-to hat when the winter comes. I just love the feel of alpaca, especially when adding my favorite Celtic Weave stitch to the mix. This stitch is a bit more challenging but worth the effort. Be sure to check out my free online video tutorials should you ever need more than photos to learn these cabling techniques. No one should have to miss out on the fun and beauty of crocheting cables!
