PATTERN - Drawstring Hat and Neck Warmer 2009 - $2.50





Upon payment, the pattern PDF will be sent to you via email. Please make sure you indicate which email address you would like the pattern to be sent to.


Yarn :
Worsted / 10 ply (9 wpi) 219 - 273 yards (200 - 250 m)


Needles :
US 6 - 4.0 mm
US 8 - 5.0 mm
Crochet Hook  3.5 mm (E) (for drawstring.  You can do i-cords instead if you so wish)

Other Materials :
Tapestry Needle (for finishing)
Optional : 2 Wood beads, with a hole around 3/16 ~1/8”

With the drawstring tied, it’s a little hat.
With the drawstring loose, its a neck warmer!
The mock eyelet cable doesn’t require a cable needle. Its simple and surprisingly quick!

The beads on the tassel will give a bit of life
to the strings, allowing them to dangle cutely when you move your head!

Pick a nice fluffy yarn like alpaca, angora or mohair
mix to give a super warm look, or a nice slick yarn
in dark colors to make it chic!


*ADDITIONAL NOTE!**
I recently found out that depending on the yarn you use, the number of mock cable in the pattern may feel a bit small.

add another 3~4 repeats of mock cable, before the decrease row, if you feel the hat is a bit shallow for you :)

A simple but unique hat for beginners and beginner +s!  It’s a hat but you only need either DPN or circular, not both like most hats.  The cable pattern is not too complicated so it is a good practice for cable beginners too.  Since its pretty much a rectangle it is easy to stow away in your bag when you don’t need it!

Are you a film geek? Or do you know a film geek? 
Well then, here you go! :D 
Those holes are actual holes!

This could also be a stash-busting project! Each cell doesn’t have to be same color. as long as you have enough yarn for each cell, you can go ahead and mix-and-match the colors.

The wrist warmer pattern in the second photo is NOT included! 
I will be writing a pattern for it, hopefully some time soon…:P
