There are two versions to the hat – his and her. His version is meant to have a snug fit, whereas her version is stretchy. Both hats follow the same Stormtrooper pattern and tapestry crochet techniques. His version comes with an additional Tie Fighter design, and her version has a ribbed edge. The hats are crocheted in the round, starting at the band and finishing at the crown (bottom up method). Please note that you will need a 4.25mm hook (Ravely does not offer this size as an option).
