This is a FREE pattern! Please pay it forward and make an extra hat for a fellow protestor, or make a donation to an organization that protects and supports marginalized communities near you.

The Pay-it-Forward Protest Hats pattern has six different hat bands to choose from (Resist, No Kings, We Know What We Saw, Ice Out, Melt the Ice, and Vote✓), as well as a chart-your-own option. From the hat band up, the hat has two separate layers, one of each color, with a matching pom pom on top.

This interlocking filet crochet pattern provides both row-by-row written instructions as well as design charts for reference. Since this design has many diagonal stitches, it is recommended for someone who is comfortable with the interlocking filet mesh technique.

If you haven’t tried diagonals on an interlocking filet mesh project yet, you can learn how on my YouTube Channel! You can also read about it on my blog!
