Here is a chic hat that any novice crocheter can work. Any 8 ply yarn can be used as it is worked to measurements with a 4 to 4.5 mm crochet hook. The only stitches needed to be worked are chain, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitch.

Provided in the pattern are instructions on how to obtain and work out the exact measurements you need for your hat as well as standard measurements, for small/medium and large sizes.

A feature of the hat is the Popcorn Sitch which is just double crochet worked together. This gives the hat a Halo effect which gives it a unique and smart look.

For those of us who find it easier to view how to work Popcorn Stitch rather than read instructions a suggestion is included in the pattern.
