There’s a reason why this pattern is called the New Favorite Hat Crochet Pattern. In truth, I had my husband try on the hat once I was done with the design and he fell in love with it instantly. But, I’m pretty sure you will, too. It’s far easier than it looks and it will be stunning in any color, whether it’s variegated, striped, or solid. It’ll work up quickly in just a couple hours and will become a staple in your wardrobe or make an exciting gift!

This pattern calls for 180 yards of a worsted weight acrylic. (Featured is Red Heart with Love Stripes in colorway Leisure Stripe. The entire hat including pom-pom was made with one skein.) Also needed is a K-10.5/6.50mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors, and a medium pom-pom maker (or the pom-pom maker size of your choice.)
