The Tunisian Swirl Hat is a free crochet pattern on my blog.

The main body of the Swirl Tunisian Crochet Hat is made with repeating rows of the Tunisian Purl and Knit stitches - 4 rows of knit and 5 rows of purl.

This hat is worked sideways and then seamed. Ribbing is added at the end.

To create a parallelogram shape rather than a traditional rectangle you will be working increases every other row on the same side of your work and decreases on the other.  This will result in a parallelogram shape once complete.

I love the knit and purl stitches together in combination as it allows the purl stitches to poof out slightly creating the distinct swirl effect.  And by using two different colors it really highlights the swirl!

Stitch tutorials are provided for the Tunisian crochet stitches used in the pattern.

Easy to customize to size!
