As a knitter, I am pleased to offer this crochet hat pattern … only my 2nd one. Crochet produces different texture and is usually quick. If you make a boo-boo in your project, ripping back is relatively painless … compared to ripping back in a knit project.

This hat is worked in the round from the top down, and uses the following crochet stitches: chain, slip stitch, single and double crochet stitches, and cluster stitch. The pattern is written using American crochet terms.

The sample hat was made using worsted weight yarn and a J hook, and was completed in less than 3 hours.

For crochet beginners, links to helpful videos are provided in the pattern. Give it a try because if you don’t, how will you know?
