Whether you call this time of year “sweater weather” or “crochet weather,” if you’re like most crocheters, you love making hats and scarves to wear, to gift, and to donate, or to sell at your local craft markets.

Both are designed in multiple sizes using simple stitches with the same three colors of Cascade Yarns Pacific (available from Jimmy Beans | LoveCrafts)
