This striped Hat is crocheted sideways in alternating single and half double crochet. This is a very beginner-friendly pattern! Choose your own colors to support your favorite sports team. The Hat can be worn with the brim unfolded for a slouchy look or folded up for a more fitted look. Do not cut colors at the end of each stripe. Carry unused color loosely up the side of the work. When changing colors, work the final pull through of the last st of the row in the new color.
