An easy beginner moss stitch hat to use leftovers of Red Heart Granny Square All In One yarn! YouTube video tutorial: https://youtu.be/Sxtf2oxiojc

Go with the flow of color changes to create exciting stripes in simple moss stitch- no cutting or controlling of colors needed.

The hats pictured used 1/3 skein of Red Heart Granny Square All In One yarn in the Soft White – Citrus Twist colorway and the Soft White - Green Scream. (100% acrylic; 417 yards (381 m) per 250-gram skein). That is about 139 yards (127 meters) or 83 grams of yarn per hat

You can make your hat larger or smaller by adjusting the number of starting chains. Any odd number of starting chains works for this pattern. For an adult hat, start with 69 chains. For a slouchier beanie, crochet more rounds. The hats shown have 30 rounds.
