This crochet alpine stitch hat uses texture and color to create a denim blue hat that you will want for your fall and winter wardrobe. Use Lion Brand Jeans yarn if you want to replicate the denim look of the hat that I made. Or if you prefer, substitute your favorite Category 4 yarn and make this hat in any combination of neutrals or brights.
A Denim-look Hat with Lion Brand Jeans Yarn
I have had Lion Brand Jeans yarn in my stash FOREVER and I finally decided that this hat was the perfect project to use it for. It seemed perfect to use my Lion Brand Jeans yarn to make a blue hat pattern in honor their #hatnothate event. Aside from that - I LOVE the denim-y blues and the texture they help to create in this hat. This hat screams fall to me and I can totally see myself wearing it to a pumpkin patch with jeans and a cozy sweater.
Make this Slouch Hat in Solids or Colors
It’s always so difficult for me to make my patterns in only one yarn/color combination. I love how this hat turned out using the Jeans yarn - but there are so many other possibilities, too! I think it would be so much fun with a neutral/bright color combo to really make a color pop statement, and I also think it would be just as fabulous is a monochromatic neutral. The texture of the stitches shine no matter what!
An Alpline Stitch Crochet Hat for Adults
And speaking of the texture of the stitch - this beauty is called the Alpine Stitch and I WILL be using it again. I am always a lover of texture and this stitch fits the bill!
