Pattress Plates

Named after the decorative plates on old buildings to cover the rod ends holding the walls up. This pattern includes instructions for both the cowl and the hat (in 3 sizes). The pattern is done with overlay mosaic crochet (chart and written instructions are included) so it's very simple to do. You are only going round with one colour at a time and it's all done with doubles and trebles. Yarn requirements: 50g of Kinross 4ply in Main Colour (Seaweed), 50g in Contrast 1 (Heather), 20g in Contrast 2 (Scots Pine) for either the hat or the cowl. The cowl takes about 35g of the Main Colour, 25g of Contrast 1 and 12g of Contrast 2. The hat takes about 20g of Main Colour, 15g of Contrast 1 and 6g of Contrast 2 for the middle size. The gradient hat on the last page used about 35g of the main colour (Kinross 4ply in Loch Ore) and 5x10g Miniballs in a gradient of colours as the ‘Contrast 1’ (shown in Petunia, Pagan, Denim, Atlantic Spray and Bondi Blue) Hook: 3.5mm or size to obtain tension
