This is a hat in Tunisian crochet. The lower and upper sections of the hat are crocheted in different colours that meet as a net around the middle. The net is full with “ventilation holes”.

The pattern involves only basic stitches, but the woven slits with short rows may make it slightly tricky for beginners.

You can make this hat in one colour only. No problem there!
