Main Street Yarn

Hello All!  I am stopping by the blog to say hello and to formally introduce myself.  My name is Krista and I teach crochet here at Main Street Yarn.  I will be posting here from time to time.  In addition, I will be moderating our group Ewe Knit at Main Street on Ravelry.  I invite you to join us!  I look forward to using this as a tool to help us interact more with our customers.  Feel free to post questions, share comments and show off your shiny new projects!  We would love to see (and drool) over the beautiful things you make!  If you aren't familiar with Ravelry, I think it would be worth a few minutes to check out.

Now, Id like to share with you one of my new favorite patterns!  This pattern is called the Crocheted Seafarer's Cap and it is available for free here through The Seaman's Church Institute.  What I enjoyed most about this pattern is the no frills look and the ease of construction.  Rather then working in the round, this hat is worked from top to bottom in 'short rows' much like the sections on a pumpkin.  It uses only one skein or about 220 yds of worsted weight yarn and G hook.  It is a fast, fun and uniquely constructed project that will sure climb to the top of your favorite list!  I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for taking the time to read and meet me.  I hope to meet you in the store soon or see you online in our Ravelry group!
