Yesterday was National Hat Day. That reminded me of this idea that had been bouncing around in my head for a hat. So I sat down and got busy getting it out of my head and into the universe. The result…a unisex hipster-like hat made with Tunisian crochet.

I wanted to really show the detail on the Tunisian Simple Stitch and the crown transition, so I chose a variegated yarn. This hat only uses two basic Tunisian crochet stitches; Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) and Tunisian Purl Stitch (TPS). It’s super easy and can be easily modified to be longer or shorter by adding or removing stitches between the brim and the crown shaping.
