Introduction to short rows for beginners! In this FREE step-by-step video tutorial, you will learn how to crochet this easy hat. This hat is worked flat and is the perfect introduction to short rows for beginners.

This is a beginner variation of my classic fisherman hat. Crocheting short rows is my favorite technique for making hats. This hat is worked in rows using slip stitches, single crochet, and single crochet worked in the back loop. If you can do a slip stitch and a single crochet stitch then you can make this hat!

I love this beginner short-row technique. You can work the hat flat but without a lot of gathering at the top so you end up with a perfectly fitted hat.

Happy Crocheting
