Notes:
Are you looking for a new favorite crochet hat pattern? Today, I’m excited to share this easy crochet hat pattern that is suitable for beginners.
This Crochet Beginner Hat Pattern is worked in round without turning.
✓ It is worked from the top down.
✓ The chains at the begining of each round never counts as your first stitch.
✓ You can make any size hat longer or shorter by repeating or eliminating the last rows before ribbing.
✓ Stitch counts are included at the end of each round.
✓ I alternated four different colors ending at round 19 with the same color I used for the ribbing so the first round of ribbing matches. Make sure you use the same color in round 19 that you use for the ribbing so the first round of ribbing matches that you are working the front and back posts around.
You can get an ADDFREE PATTERN here.
✓ Mix and match yarn colors to add stripes as desired.
