My very first forays into using independently dyers were utilizing Quinch & Co. yarn. The low price point and color palette were right up my happy little alley. These days, I’ve spread my wings more and more but you never forget your first. This mesh stitch uses a filet style that will give your head a chance to breathe while still being insulated by the wool. This hat is suitable for advanced beginners or intermediate crocheters.
