I really enjoyed making this sweet hat and getting feedback from you while I was making it. I will go live every Sunday at 2:30 pm EST at Facebook, then I head to my Facebook group Krissy’s Over The Mountain Crochet and Crafts, then I take a trip to Instagram. It’s a fun afternoon of live videos.

I do love to work with Velvet yarns. The Hipster Boston Velvet Hat is styled like a snowboarders hat and is just as much fun to crochet as this slouchy.

I also used a Vel-Luxe velvet yarn to make Gracie’s Blanket. It’s a cabled blanket that is so luxurious and rich. You need to check it out!

Have you ever used velvet yarn or faux fur yarn? I would like to know. Please leave me a comment to tell me of your velvet yarn adventures.
