    I'm heading to New York for a fun/business trip next month, so I wanted to make a new crochet hat and matching mitts - and when I saw Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundles in the City Lights colorway, it was practically fate! But you don't have to travel to New York for this yarn - you can get it at over 800 Michaels stores, Michaels.com, and Lion Brand.com!

    Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundle in City Lights

    With the Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundle, you get enough yarn to make this hat and mitts set with just one ball - or you can use two balls of the standard size! Either way, this super bulky set will work up super fast. The hat has some fun loops to add texture and keep it interesting, while the mitts are quick, easy, and cozy!

      Tamara,
      Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping to find today! My kids walked to the store by themselves and spent their own money to buy me some yarn for Christmas❤️. I needed a special pattern for this special yarn! You never disappoint!

          I'm just not sure if I'm going in to the right stitch for the dc after the tr in the row below.

            You would skip the stitch behind the tr and go to the next st for the dc - does that make sense?

      Hi. Question... in round 3, do you hdc blo and fp hdc around the same stitch, or is it opposite stitch below that you go through? So, hdc blo round the fp stitch, or around the hdc blo below? I am not sure i have it right.

        They are consecutive, not the same. You fphdc around the next stitch, not the same one you worked the blo hdc into. 🙂

      If I wanted to make the hat just a smidge bigger would 42 be an ok number to do? I noticed the small was 34 and the large was 38 so I went with 42. The 38 won’t go around my head even stretched out. Will it mess up the pattern?

        You might need to do another decrease round before gathering the crown, but I think it will be okay!
