Fabulous outcome for my ethical summer hat project!

I love the ethics of this yarn! Thats why i bought it so i hope you start doing much more fair trade yarn! It was a bit hard to find a pattern for sport weight yarn but i persisted and i got there! I made The ‘Flapper style summer crochet hat ‘ that i bought of the love crafts site. I am really really with the outcome! Thanks you Katia! The yarn does split a little but once i used to correct hook size it was good to work with. Wish i could leave a photo of my completed hat but there doesn’t seem to be the facility to do this? Xx

Revisiting crochet

Have never used cotton before. Back to crocheting after about 30 years absence. The only issue I have is that the yarn splits. Colour range is excellent. Beach dress went down a storm and have got an order for another from granddaughter.
