Addison Hat

This hat is named after a town on the Coast of Maine. It has Vsts and shells which remind me of the sea gulls and sea shells that can be found anywhere on the coast of Maine. It is a fast and easy hat to make and can be completed in an evening.

Random Quick Tip!

Weaving in Ends
Use a metal yarn needle for weaving in your ends when knitting and crocheting. The needle is sturdy and you can split strands of yarn when you weave your end in and go back and forth with your weaving stitches. This makes the end more secure in your work. Also make sure to weave your end in the back of your work where it will be less noticeable. If weaving in crochet thread ends, use a metal tapestry needle for ease in working with the smaller size of the thread.
