Spiral Shell Rasta Hat. This spiral shell rasta hat is my first design with Paton's Canadiana, The New Generation.

Spiral Shell Rasta Hat

I really love this yarn because it is so soft and is very easy to work with. The yarn is a little thinner than the old version of Paton's Canadiana. I used an off-set shell stitch in order to create the spiral effect of the pattern. The crochet pattern is pretty straightforward and should be easy enough for a beginner to follow. This hat is a bit smaller than my other two rasta hat patterns, and is not meant to cover a large amount of hair. The pattern starts to get floppy at rnd 4 but it begins to even out at rnd 9 into a nice ruffled look. Thank you to all those who let me know about the printing problems. And you can still right click and select print. Crochet Rasta Hat. Perfect for wearing as a regular hat or as a covering for dreads or long hair.

Seed Stitch Brim Hat.

Here is a free crochet pattern for a seed stitch brim hat.

The seed stitches help to create a nice tight fabric for a super warm hat. The pattern stitches are easy, except for the front post double crochet (fpdc), which might be a challenge for a beginner. The only other difficult stitch is the foundation single crochet (fsc), which is used to make the string. Ribbed Hat. This is my version of a ribbed hat.

The crochet pattern is easy, provided you know how to make the front post double/triple crochet stitches. I wanted to make this pattern in more than one size, however, I couldn't figure out an easy way to do it without changing the design. (My mind fails me like that sometimes.) Anyhow, I ended up using two different types of yarn in order to create two different gauges. And it worked perfectly for getting two different sizes. For the smaller size, I used Patons Canadiana - The New Generation.

Broomstick Lace Cowl

It is very easy to make once the basics of crocheting and broomstick lace have been mastered. The only stitches required are the chains (chs), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), double crochet 2 together (dc2tog) and the broomstick lace st. Broomstick lace is worked by pulling up loops onto a knitting needle from left to right. Comfort Ear Warmer. Comfort Ear Warmer I called this the comfort ear warmer because I used Red Heart Comfort Yarn.

Comfort Ear Warmer

However, due to the nature of the pattern, you can use just about any type of yarn that you have on hand. Also, you can easily make the ear warmer any size that you want. It is a very simple pattern, but it has some nice vertical textured lines to add a bit of character to the design. The lines are created simply by alternating the stitches between the back and front loops. It works up easy and is sure to keep your ears warm in the winter. Crown Ear Warmer.
