10,000 Crocheted Hats

Following on from the success of Jo Allport’s 10,000 Knitted Hats, Emma Varnam has released 10,000 Crocheted Hats, an innovative modular book that allows you to create unique crocheted beanies in a truly stunning number of combinations. The pages are split into three so you can choose your own crown, body and brim. Each hat starts with the crown and works downwards, and the flip-book format allows you to mix and match your headgear with ease. There are mindbogglingly many stitches to choose from, from plain double crochet and treble clusters to granny squares, cable twists and mosaics. Favourite combinations include a mosaic stitch body with a puff stitch brim, a dogtooth stripe body and crown with a plain extended double crochet brim and a fan stitch body with a top knot crown.

This book was very similar to the 10,000 Knitted Hats by Jo Allport. I love that GMC Publications worked with Emma Varnam to bring us this book. If you haven't checked out her other work, be sure to on Instagram @emmavarnam. I love that each book allows one to create their own perfect hat, whether it be crochet or knitting. I prefer knitting but will have the chance to relearn crochet through a class that my friend is hosting. This book was so creative and the illustrations/photos were beautiful. It also included Crochet techniques, finishing touches, and abbreviations/conversions. It is definitely a fun mix and match type craft book that everyone will love.
