Designed for the Warm Up America 2025 Hat, Scarf, and Mittens Drive!
I'm so excited to share the Olivewood Set with all of you! I designed this hat, mittens, and scarf set using Knit Picks/WeCrochet Brava Stripe, which is perfect for charity stitching - and personal stitching! It's soft, lovely to touch, and 100% acrylic - important for charity donations! To learn more about this charity drive, CLICK HERE!
Featuring Two Adult Sizes
The Olivewood Hat pattern includes two sizes - Small Adult and Large Adult. It's a simple, classic beanie that works up quickly and fits comfortably. While I used self-striping yarn, this pattern looks just as good in solids and variegated yarns! I've keep the pattern relatively simple, so crocheters of every skill level can enjoy this pattern!
