This pattern was born on a rainy afternoon as I scoured the internet for a good “hippie hat.” I am a big fan of crochet, but cannot stand the search for readable patterns. I generally find them tedious and difficult to follow. So, in my eternal stubbornness, I decided to wing it. This lovely hat is what came out!

It’s built on a simple spiral, with a gradual increase. A little slouchy, a little hippie-y, and a lot of fun to wear, it’s become a staple to my wardrobe (especially now that the cold weather is here!) It’s perfect for bad hair days, too!

As far as materials go, this was a stash-buster for me, so any yarn you have around will do nicely. And switch up the colors to your heart’s content! I am currently working on a version with a different color in each round, so it’s very versatile.
