Welcoming July and Crochet Summer Bolero Hat pattern
I started crochet around 2014 as a hobby to spent my holiday term during
my year as University student. But it was on 2015 when I get really attached to it and
my sister suggested to make a social media account to showcase my work for fun.
That’s how PIVOINE (instagram: @pivoinehandcraft) was born and became parts of
me.
I love the idea of how every crocheter, knitter and other crafters out
there has their own working space style and amazed by how they organize and
decorated it. I never set up a working space (since I am not a full time
crocheter) so I literally carry my crochet stuff anywhere and at the end of the
day, storing them in my yarn storage.
This year I’ve got a little extra time staying at home (perhaps that’s the
positive side of these issues),spending more time doing crochet
and I decided to set up a new and my first official working space.
There’s these saying, you won’t know the pain until you feel it. That’s
how important working space and posture while crocheting. Crochet is something
that require lots of hours, patience and good drinking companion (mine has
always been coffee). I often found myself doing hours of crocheting sitting on
bed or couch and sometimes even on the floor and i end up with lots of cramps
in many body parts (who’s with me?)

I've always love the idea of natural vibes like exposed wood, a little
tropical vibes with rattan stuff, some bohemian touch like plants, dried
flowers and lots of fairy lights. But I try to minimize and be thoughtful about
what I bought because nowadays I love the idea of downsizing,
living minimal and on budget too. Yet there are some cute stuff that I just can’t ignore and ended up buying them somehow (sounds funny to myself). Anyway this is how my new working space turns out. The set out may not be perfect yet but so far I think it's good enough. It also works as my
photo sets sometimes. And as crocheter of course I added some touch of my
handmade stuff like the forget-me-not coaster and decor, my one and only
laptop sleeves that I made years ago (love this one so much) and unfinished
embroidery (can get lazy sometimes)
Spot the summer hat I made recently using paper yarn from a local store @bebe.benang. initially I was just curious to try out their new paper yarn collection but then the hats looks good there so it became parts of the decor. (it’s not practical but a little fun for the eyes won’t hurt right?)

I like my summer hat this way in bolero style with flat brim. If you
like your brim to be smaller you can adjust it by stopping at the point of the
round which you feel sufficient. If you’d like a wider brim then keep adding
rounds until you are satisfied with the outcome of your hat.
I hope this pattern is good enough and let me know if you find any errors or feedback. If you have any questions about the pattern or anything else you can simply find me on instagram @pivoinehandcraft and I will be gladly to hear you out. Please tag me on instagram too if you post your finished product, I’d love to see how it turns out. You can use hashtags #pivoinehandcraft just in case I missed out your post. Thankyou and Happy crocheting!!!
