Dotty and Braidy crochet hat is a quick- to- do pattern. Soft, textured and cozy, is the best way to describe it. It makes for a lovely gift for the girls in your life. The pattern uses my own version of linked double crochet that created a unique texture (instructions and link video of the stitch in the document).
