Skybridge Hat Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern from Detroit Knots

We love collaborations at Stitch & Hustle. It is what makes this blog so very special - working with our talented community. So we are here with another fabulous design by Natalie of Detroit Knots. And this time we have also teamed up with Marian of Marianated Yarns to create something UBER SPECIAL!

Combining Marian’s eye for gradient kits and pops of color, Natalie’s crafty Tunisian Crochet design skills and our need for ALL. THE. COZY. is how we came together to bring you the Skybridge Hat & Cowl Tunisian Crochet free pattern set! Yup… we said it. BOTH PATTERNS ARE FREE!

And that is not all! You can get the kit which includes the ad free pdf pattern from Marianated yarns too! While the pattern is free because that is how we roll here at Stitch & Hustle, you can grab the set for $6 and support the designer.

PATTERN NOTES:

- Pay close attention to the crown decreases on the hat. Since they are done on the RetP, be sure to go under both loops of each decrease on the next FwP.

- If you are using one CC do not cut the yarn between rows, carry it up the side. If you are using multiple CC, cut the yarn after each use.  There are two lengths for the hat. The row counts for the beanie are outside the ( ) & the slouch is inside the ( ).

- Changing colors: YO with the new color on the last RetP st. 

- Trps: With yarn in front of hook, insert hook in the back vertical bar, YO and pull up a loop.
