2022 - The Year of the Hat

1/8/2022

1 Comment

 
I'm trying a simpler format for this blog for 2022.  Instead of voting on a pattern for each month like we did in the past, I'm just going to pick a hat pattern from my vintage pattern stash.   

Here are my two arbitrary rules:
1.  Vintage will be considered 40 years old.  That means that I will pull patterns that are  older than 1982.  How is 1982 40 years ago!
2. I'm going to try to pick a pattern from a Workbasket that is the month we're in but some months that may not be possible.  I have a lot of other vintage pattern booklets that I can pull from though so I'm sure I'll find a pattern for each month.
3.  Hats=Things you wear on your head.  This could mean a hood, a bun cover, ear muffs or a hat.  


I have five 1970s Workbasket magazines that have things you could wear on your head.   I chose this one from the January 1976 Workbasket Magazine.

I'll let you know how well the pattern was written, what yarn I used and you'll see a color photo of what the hat I made looks like.
In this case, I don't have mohair but I do have some vintage Unger Fluffy that might work in place of that.   I have no idea what the other yarn will be.  The photo almost looks like they used a variegated yarn so we'll see if I have anything like that and take it from there!

I think I this is a great approach! Look forward to following along. And watching for yarn needs.

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
