Yes, this is Crochet! Achieve the look and feel of a 2 colour knitted hat but in crochet.

In 2022, I took a weekend trip to Sequim, Washington. I was inspired by all of the Lavender farms in the area. Despite being between Seattle and Forks, both notorious for rainy weather, the rainshadow from the Olympic Mountains gives Sequim the perfect dry conditions for lavender farming.

I love stranded/fair isle knitted hats and wanted crocheters to have the option to make fun colorwork hats too.

There is also a Knit version available!
