Snowdrops hat is most suitable for babies, kids, moms and even dads. I picked up this pattern as it is perfect even for a walk in the cold winter. Earflaps add extra protection for baby. You can customize your hat with any combination of colors to suit your casual or sporty style, characterized by its simplicity and ease of construction.

The basis of these crochet hats is the use of a loop stitch that forms “teeth” like design. When worked with in a combination of colors, they look like diamonds!
Hats are constructed top-down and in-the-round, making it a seamless and quick project. The pattern is written and charted. A photo-tutorial of the stitch pattern is provided. You will also find updates for different types of yarn and instructions on how to determine the size for a perfect fit.

The pattern is written in US crochet terms with corresponding (UK terms) in the list of Abbreviations.
