My son found a hat and gave it to me last year. When it was taken out of storage this past winter I was like “I NEED to copy this pattern!”

I took a real good look at it and wanted to see if I could crochet it because it said on the label “Crocheted.” Well I finally worked out a pattern! I hope you love it as much as I do!
