The One-hour Crochet Hat Design
I designed this hat from the softest acrylic yarn in a super bulky weight so that it would be quick to make and comfortable for even the most sensitive heads. Working up in just one hour, you’ll be able to use this as your go-to pattern for your charity projects.
The project is worked from the top down and has slightly spiraling ribs which meet a simple brim.
One of my favorite features of this hat is that you can style the hat any number of ways, but these are three of my favorite:
Styling Option 1: Button Styling Option 2: Pom Styling Option 3: Flower
