Crochet a knit look.
This pattern is written in the waistcoat stitch. You will need to know this stitch or learn it with a tutorial on You Tube.
You will need to carry yarn and color change.
I like Moogly Blog tutorials on YouTube to learn any technique.
This pattern is written with a graph to follow.
The size option can be changed with a hook size but is written for 19 to 22 1/2 inch head size.
Check your gauge. This is important in case you need to make any adjustments before getting to far into the design. The waistcoat stitch and carrying yarn makes a snug hat and I like hats a bit loose. They need some give with the carried yarns and you must pay attention to gauge to achieve this.
You can use any yarn. I made it with worsted yarn similar to Big Twist with the same instructions and achieved the same height and it added an inch to the width. It still fits my 8 year old and myself perfectly. I wrote this one to decrease up and not be slouchy.
I purchased the white-blue tipped pom from Nella’s Cottage. The grey pom is from Michael’s.
I used 5 different colors for this pattern, you will use less than a skein each color. The black is for adding the mouth and eye only.
Make this Whale in any color!
