Learn the spike stitch pattern used for the Andean Peak Crochet Hat, Feburary's CAL with Furls and Whistle & Ivy.
Hello friend! I'm Bethany, and I am the designer and blogger behind Whistle and Ivy, a creative crochet blog. February's Furls CAL is this cute and cozy Andean Peaks Crochet Hat, with a lovely tri-stripe pattern and gorgeous peak stitches. It's an easy stitch, but it has a stylish effect.

We're all beyond psyched to get started with our Hooded Capelets next week, but we need everyone to be on the same page!
If you're unfamiliar with Puff Stitch, we've made a great little video tutorial for you. We got Trisha back in the studio to shoot this wonderful explanation of a beautiful stitch in under 5 minutes. Check it out!

In Part one of our CAL we will talk a bit about gauge, sizing, and make the main portion of the blanket!
When crocheting garments or wearable, gauge can be super important. But with blankets, it's not as big a deal - there's just a lot more wiggle room! The most important thing is that you get fabric coming off the hook that's not too loose or too tight. You don't want a blanket that's full of giant holes, but you also don't want one that's stiff as a board!
The official gauge for this blanket is...
Join Furls and Tamara of Moogly for the latest Furls Fiberarts Crochet-a-Long. This month we will be making a gorgeous throw pattern, perfect for holiday gift, or just to cuddle up with your loved ones this holiday season.
To get everyone ready to hit the ground running next week, we’ve uploaded a sweet little tutorial of Crocodile Stitch.
A big thanks to Trisha Kahan in Austin, TX for leading us through this stitch! It’s a beautifully simple stitch that should be in every crocheter’s toolset. I’m going to give you a little description and then I’ll let the video speak for itself!
