An ideal first Tunisian project using luxurious handspun alpaca yarn
These instructions explain how to make a hat using a combination of traditional single crochet and Tunisian simple stitch worked in the round, a technique that takes excellent advantage of highly textured novelty yarns.

You need two kinds of hooks for this project:

• Size K standard crochet hook
• Size L double-ended Tunisian hook

You also need two kinds of yarn:

• A smooth, worsted weight yarn for the crown
• A textured novelty yarn for the hat sides

The alpaca yarns used for this pattern create an exceptionally soft, warm, and wonderfully textured hat.
