There’s nothing worse than feeling bored by your crochet projects. I’ve been working on a lot of hats lately, and after a while, they all seem to blend together.

So for this project, I decided to combine some new stitches- ones I’d never tried before. I finally settled on the crochet spider stitch. It has a lovely drape and a really nice structured fabric that has almost a stripe to it.

And I made sure to use some of the best yarn in my stash- you know, the one you buy because the color is drool worthy, but then hoard like a dragon because it seems too nice to be used up right away?

 But pretty yarn is for crocheting, not sitting in a dusty bookshelf! So go find some of your favorite worsted weight yarn, and an I hook, and get ready to create a treasure that you can wear instead of hiding away in your yarn basket.

My coveted yarn is the gorgeous Garnet Heather colorway of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Superwash. Oh, my word, it’s gorgeous, isn’t it?
