This free crochet hat pattern is perfect for beginners.

Using half double crochet stitches, create a warm and stylish winter hat that is flattering on men or women. This hat is worked in a rectangle and seamed together.

The Solstice Hat uses the technique of half double crochet in the third loop to create a super stretchy ribbed texture that is also reversible.

To make this hat, I used Lion Brand Wool Ease (80% acrylic, 20% wool) in the color Linen, but you can substitute any size 4, worsted weight yarn.
