The Evergreen Mist Hat combines rich tonal color with soft, puff-filled texture in an easy top-down design. Crocheted with Mary Maxim Tonal Hues yarn in Liquid Mercury using a 5 mm (H) crochet hook, this pattern features a 2-round stitch repeat worked in one piece.
The silvery-green tones shift beautifully through each round, creating a subtle gradient that gives this hat its signature look. With multiple sizes from baby to adult, it’s a great project for gifting, matching sets, or keeping cozy through the season.
The Yarn
Bag-O-Day Tonal Hues Yarn
I visited my local Mary Maxim store in Paris and instantly fell in love with the Tonal Hues yarns. I’ve always loved yarns that shift shades within a single color — they make it so easy to create eye-catching projects without having to plan color changes. Crocheting with Bag-O-Day Tonal Hues was such a pleasure, and I hope Mary Maxim keeps this beautiful yarn line around for a long time!

- Ch 3 counts as 1 dc.
- Turning chains (ch 1) do NOT count as stitches and we do not work into them.
- Sl st to the top of the first st of the round to join (this will either be the top of a chain 3 – which is counting as a dc, or the first sc of the round).
- You can make your slip stitches tightly as we will not be working into them.
