CROCHET PATTERN, Braided Accent Hat, 5 yrs to adult,
Make it without the braided trim for a masculine look.
If you don’t attach the braid permanently to the hat, it can be worn as a headband.
Quick and easy pattern.
(My focus is to always design a pattern with the least possible
instructions and steps, without losing the cuteness factor.)
Use ONE STRAND OF CHUNKY YARN,
OR
2 STRANDS OF WW YARN
OR 4 STRANDS OF DK YARN
(Yardage given for chunky yarn.)
