easy to crochet with any yarn for the whole family

This pattern is a great way to make a hat for anyone on your list. You can make it completely your own by using a different yarn/gauge. For best results choose a solid, semi-solid, speckled, or gradient yarn. Just stay away from highly variegated yarns. Options for a fixed brim, faux button band, or button band.

Notes
The hat pattern repeat is easy to memorize so it is a great piece to work on while social stitching.

Try using 2 colors for stripes or a different yarn for brim and body. Go up a few hook sizes in the body for a more slouchy hat (for example the natural sand colored hat).

Add a traditional yarn pompom or a modern faux fur pom pom for extra flair.

On a personal note, one year ago I publicly announced about my endometriosis and need for surgery. It was very vulnerable feeling for me, but I was floored by the love and support I received! This year I’m happy to announce that I’m pregnant ❤️
