{Mix-ol-o-gy} Pattern & Product Review

11/7/2015

4 Comments

 
Recently I was sitting here at the computer and I saw the UPS truck pull up out front.  I wasn't expecting anything so I was surprised when the driver came to the door.  I asked him if I need to sign anything and he said "no, have a nice day."
The return address on the box said "Coats & Clark" so I knew right away that the box contained yarn.  Upon opening it I discovered three skeins of Red Heart's latest yarn, {Mix-ol-o-gy}.  You can find more about this #6 super bulky weight yarn at Red Heart Yarns.  I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to make with this yarn so I set it aside and continued with the project I had been working on.
Looking for something to do this morning I pulled out the box of yarn from Red Heart and began playing around with it.  Working with the skein of "Swirl" in the Calypso colorway I created this Slouchie Hat with just one skein.  It worked up quickly and I was done within an hour.  I am really pleased with how this soft, homespun style yarn felt in my hands and how easily it glided over my hook.  This yarn comes in 4 oz skeins, comes in beautiful mix and match colorways and is made of an easy care acrylic/polyester blend.  Since the yarn has so much texture I didn't need elaborate stitches to create additional texture.  This yarn has enough on it's own!!  The recommended hook size is N and the recommended needle size is 15 US.  I used a P hook for my hat.  You can find the pattern below.

So I found your pattern and I'd like to try it, but I have one question. You list that you used a P hook...may I ask the mm size of that hook. I'm finding a discrepancy between companies of P & N hooks. I have an N hook that's 10mm, but some places say P hooks are 10mm and N are 9mm....apparently this all depends on what company made the hook...

Help a stitch sister out?

Jaime ~ the hook that I used is a 10 mm. It came as a set with a P and Q hook in it. The N hook that I have (by Boye) says 9 mm. It gets confusing doesn't it. I hope that you enjoy the pattern. Thank you for stopping and visiting me here in Maine!! ~ Cheryl

Jamie, I must make a correction, the hook I used is a 11.5 mm not an 11 mm. I'm really sorry about this mistake. I hope that this helps you out sista!!

Hey Cheryl, I love this hat and have started to make it but, being a newbie at crocheting, I wonder if I understand it correctly. I have finished Round 3 and have 19 stitches. It looks as though there are no more increase rows and the hat looks as though it would be too small. I am wondering if Round 3 should be repeated more rather than Round 4.

Note: I am using Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn (super bulky) rather than the Red Heart Mixology Swirl that you used. I hope that will work.
