I love chenille yarn. It is so soft to work with. Unfortunately some of the patterns, usually the complicated one, seem not to be working. Mainly if you are working on hats for babies. Here works the motto The simplest the better. So I tried this shell pattern for a baby hat and I was quite surprised how it turned out. I also made a matching booties but this will be released as a paid pattern hopefully soon. Meanwhile you can try the hat if it works for you because chenille yarn is not for everybody. Some really hates to crochet with it.
So let´s try.
