Chevron Hat

Job type Test crochet
Description

This peaked cap will look good on anybody!

Colours can be switched between rounds for a completely different effect.

The tapestry crochet used to make this project produces a tightly woven material, making this a hardy hat which will last for years.

Instructions are given in UK and US terms.

There are written, photo and chart instructions for each size. I need testers for the following sizes/instructions
