This hat coordinates perfectly with the Easy Rainbow Scarf pattern. The hat pattern comes in 2 styles: one with 6 colors plus black and the other with a light color and a dark color. There are 3 sizes of hats in the pattern: small (for children), medium (for teens & women) and large (for men).

The hat is worked from the sc ribbing at the bottom to the top of the crown with decreases at the top for shaping the crown. This is a quick hat to make that delivers a lot of visual appeal!

The pattern includes full written instructions for making the hat, plus many extras, such as instructions and step-by-step photos for working in the back bump of the foundation chain, joining with a dc and making the Long double crochet stitch, which is used in the crown section of the hat.
