What about making a grannysquare hat without squares to assembly and without a bunch of ends to weave in, then you are looking at the right pattern.
The Jeanie bucket hat is an easy pattern. Perfect for beginners using only ch, dc and dc- groups with simple colour changes.
And the best part is the fun you have playing with colours. You could also ofcource make this using just one colour that will give the hat another look and will be super easy to make.

The patter is available in English US terms and Norwegian.
It has written instructions, with explanations of the colour changes and more and a crochet diagram of the colour changes.
