I was fortunate enough to take an almost week long class over two years ago at Bullseye Portland with Nathan Sandberg. I was studying with a focus on having a store that sells Bullseye products and teaches with their methods. I had a few things I sometimes had trouble wrapping my head around and Nathan did such a wonderful job explaining things that the mysteries just slipped away. Now Nathan is embarking on a career as a full time glass artist and he’s giving a free artist talk at the Portland facility. It’s soon…October 14th. If you’re in that area I highly recommend going and listening to what he has to say. And his art work is awesome too!

Allagash Set Hat Crochet Pattern
The Allagash Set Hat Crochet Pattern is a charming and practical project, perfect for anyone looking to make a matching set of cozy winter accessories. The design features a beautifully textured striped beanie and mittens, and it’s versatile enough to look great in a variety of colors. If you’re an intermediate crocheter, this pattern is a fun way to put your skills to the test.
The finished sizes are thoughtful and accommodating:
- Mittens: 7.5-9″ wide x 9-9.5″ long
- Hat: 18-21″ circumference x 7.5-8.25″ height
These dimensions should suit most adults comfortably, but I’d love to see options for larger sizes, especially for people with bigger hands or heads. That said, the pattern is adaptable, so experienced crocheters might be able to tweak it with ease.
The instructions are clear, and the texture of the stripes is not only eye-catching but also adds warmth and durability—ideal for cold weather. I particularly enjoyed working with the mittens, as they have a snug, tailored fit that doesn’t feel bulky.
One of the highlights of this set is how well the hat and mittens pair together. They make a cohesive set that would be great as a handmade gift. However, if you’re looking for a more gender-neutral or masculine design, the stripes and texture could easily work with darker, muted tones to achieve that look.
At $7.99 for the digital download, this pattern offers excellent value for two pieces. Plus, the convenience of the PDF or Kindle formats means you can get started right away. The print-to-order option is a nice touch for those who prefer physical copies.
