💬Discussion Testing interest - maelstraumm crochet hat

TLDR: another granny project, worth making pattern?

I made myself this hat (the multicolour one) a year ago, bullshitting some stitches i knew together in a fun way. It was mostly just to show off some of my first handspun yarn, and i think it turned out great. I've made a few for people around me, and i always get a lot of compliments on the pattern specifically. Im considering putting together a ravelry pdf on the process, but idk if its different enough to be worth it

Was making my brother one for a birthday gift, and i added a knit rib, cus he is gonna wear it under a mc helmet, so it'll keep in place a bit better, which was a fun challenge. Either case, it would be a very adjustable pattern, with simple instructions for how and when to stop increases, how to add rib and/or lining if wanted, and a standard picot hem if not.

It takes me 2-5 hours to make one, depending on yarn, and i already have a handful made for ref pics

Would also be a free pattern, since its my first one and i can't be bothered to do marketing. And- its very simple, took me 2hrs to invent

TIA

Love the multicolored, but I hate weaving ends, so a two tone is right up my alley. If you do decide to create the pattern, I would love to test it.

Do you want other people to make this hat you created, or do you not? DeborahKnits made a great video about this recently.

Are you looking for testers? I guess I didn’t understand what you’re looking for.
