Hello Everyone
Today is day eight of the 12 days of Christmas, I know I keep saying this but it’s going by so fast! I’m getting all moved into my new house, my pets are settling in nicely, and time’s just been flying on my end. Working on these quick and easy patterns I can make in a day or 2 has been wonderful during the move because I’m still able to get plenty of stuff made and worked on. This hat works up super quickly, and is a simple repeat that you can work mindlessly.
This crochet hat fits in wonderfully with the theme of this blowout, it’s quick, easy, and the unique texture makes a great last-minute crochet gift for the holidays. The fur pompoms I used for these are also super affordable and come in a lot of different color options. This hat also uses less than one ball of each color of yarn making this a cheap and quick option for making some holiday gifts.
If you enjoy patterns that use the alpine stitch you can find my alpine fingerless gloves here, which would match this hat perfectly by the way. You can also look at my columned alpine hat here, it’s a lot of fun as well, and makes a great unique project for presents.
If you know any crocheters who would love some PDF patterns for the holidays you can find the patterns I have available for sale in my Ravelry store.

Before we go…
As always I hope you all enjoyed today’s crochet pattern. For those who frequent my website you would know that the alpine stitch is probably one of my top 3 most used stitches. I absolutely love working with textured stitches, they add such a fun addition to winter items, especially the thicker ones like this stitch. Remember if you would like to purchase the PDF version to this pattern it can be found here buy now.
Again if you enjoy this stitch and would like to make an item to match my alpine fingerless gloves would make a great matching item. You can also look at yesterday’s addition to my 12 days of Christmas, which is an alpine column messy bun hat that would go great in a set. You can also look at the columned alpine hat which is another fun hat using the alpine stitch that would make a wonderful holiday present as well.
