Introduction
Hello everyone. Today is Thursday the twenty-first, and it marks the start of my 10 days of giving Thanksgiving pattern blowout!
Since deer season started here recently I figured I’d kick this off with a hunters crochet pattern. This is a 3 piece set that will be the first 3 days of this blowout.
The full men’s set is pictured below, and there’s also a matching ear warmer pattern for the ladies. Tomorrow I will be releasing the matching face warmer so if you like this make sure you check back tomorrow and sign up for my newsletter to keep updated on future projects!
This hat works up nice and quickly and is made with a very thick brim to stay warm in the colder areas.
It uses a combination of simple textured stitches to keep it masculine while still being unique.
This hunters crochet pattern uses seed stitch which is a very easy combination of single crochet and double crochet that I think just looks amazing for men’s items.

Conclusion
I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern and remember a matching one will be released tomorrow!
This hunters crochet set was a lot of fun to create and every item in it worked up very quickly. Along with being quick to make it is also beginner-friendly making it perfect for stocking a craft fair booth or busting out Holiday presents.
Also, please remember, this is 10 days of giving pattern blow out if you live in colder areas this time of year homeless and women’s’ shelters need donations more than ever. Schools and hospitals are also frequently desperate for smaller items. Even if you don’t have time to make something to donate a look through your old creations could really impact someone’s life!
I also suggest looking into the I am not lost scarf project in areas without shelters for people this can really help at least provide some warmth.
Once again I hope you all enjoyed this pattern and as always, happy hooking!
