Marisol Crochet Hat & Snood by Cassie Ward in Retreat Twist Chunky

Marisol Crochet Hat & Snood by Cassie Ward

What is Being Made

This downloadable crochet pattern creates a coordinated hat and snood set designed by Cassie Ward. The Marisol design offers an intermediate-level crochet project suitable for crafters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle slightly more complex construction. The set combines two complementary accessories that work together as a cohesive collection.

Yarn & Materials

The pattern is specifically designed for Retreat Twist Chunky yarn by West Yorkshire Spinners, a 100% Bluefaced Kerry Hill wool. Each project requires approximately 100g of yarn, which equals 91 metres or 100 yards per ball. The yarn is available in multiple colorways including Summer Sky, Azure, Solar Flare, Winter Night, Aurora, and Golden Hour, allowing crafters to choose their preferred aesthetic.

Tools & Tension

This crochet project uses 6.5mm crochet hooks (US10.5). The working tension is 14 stitches over a 10cm or 4-inch square, which is essential to achieve the correct finished dimensions. Maintaining proper tension throughout the project ensures the hat and snood fit as designed.

Crochet Techniques & Stitches

While specific stitch names are not detailed in the available pattern information, this intermediate-level design employs standard crochet techniques appropriate for chunky yarn construction. The pattern was technically edited by Helen Birch and Sharon Carter to ensure clarity and accuracy. West Yorkshire Spinners recommends using mattress stitch for seaming your finished project, indicating that the hat and snood components require assembly and finishing work beyond basic crochet stitching.

Pattern Format & Usage

This is a downloadable PDF pattern that provides complete instructions for creating the Marisol hat and snood set. The pattern is copyrighted and intended for non-commercial personal use only. Crafters should note that yarn quantities are approximate based on average usage, and West Yorkshire Spinners recommends using the specified Retreat Twist Chunky yarn to achieve the intended results.
