The Pillbox Hat won by a landslide!
 
About the materials
 
The pattern asks for these items:
  • 4 colors of American Thread Company Dawn Kitting Worsted
    • 3 oz olive green
    • 1 oz yellow
    • 1 oz gold
    • 1/3 oz light brown or any other desired colors
  • Plastic crochet hook size H
  • 22-inch length of medium hat wire
 
American Thread Company Dawn Knitting Worsted is a 100% wool yarn that was available from about 1934 to 1972.  There’s a short history with some old ads for it on Vintage Knit Crochet – Bits of History.
 
I’m going to use a mix of acrylics; Red Heart Super Saver in Coffee and Frosty Green, Vanna’s Choice in Pink and Premier Everyday in Pine Green.  I tried to pull together wool from my stash but I couldn't come up with a good mix of colors.

I’ll use a metal size H hook and I ordered the hat wire and connectors from Rose Mille in Stillwater.
 
The hat is made with 5 motifs that are sewn together into a circle.  Then the crown is made along with some border work.  Finally the wire is added and crocheted over. I don’t completely understand the instructions at the moment so I’m hoping it becomes more clear as I start to work it.   Wish me luck!

    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.
