Fall Harvest

I was inspired by the colours of the fall harvest for my latest hat creations. The wide-waled cotton corduroy that I sourced reminds me of kale, aubergine, and sweet potato. Six velvet-like ridges, or parallel “cords”, per inch and a final wash in the manufacturing process give this corduroy a vintage look and feel. A cotton plaid serves as lining fabric for the bucket hats shown.

Now imagine cranberries, Brussels sprouts, and Hubbard squash. The “Vee Beanie” is crocheted with a single-ply merino, alpaca, and silk blend. The pattern features a no-space double crochet V stitch. The end result is soft and feminine with button detailing.
