I have always been intrigued by bold textures in crochet and this particular one looked very intimidating to me, so it took me a long time to get up the gusto to try it! Oh, how pleased I was to find out what a relaxing, easy repeat it is! I love how defined the rich, 3D leaf shapes are that emerge from this design. This hat is a bit if a yarn eater and is the perfect use of a Caron Cake!

For this project, you will need a few things:
• Yarn: Approx. 265m of your yarn of choice. This hat can be made using any #4 yarn – just check your measurements as you go to ensure you will have a perfect fitting hat!
Shown in:
- Caron Cakes (80% Acrylic, 20% Wool blend) in Faerie Cake - #4 Medium weight yarn
• Hook: J/6.00mm hook (if you crochet loose, you may want to downsize your hook to 5mm or 5.5mm if it is working up too big)
• Pom-Pom Maker (if desired) – Clover brand #65 is what I use OR
• Faux Fur Pom Pom
• Darning Needle (to weave in ends)

I am a tight crocheter, so I have included tips and instructions on how to modify your hat size, as well as a chart to guide you when it comes to average head sizes.
