The Wexford hat is named after my home county in Ireland. This crochet beanie is designed to be a sturdy everyday hat. The centre single crochet creates a knit look fabric but the stitch construction results in a much warmer fabric than stocking stitch. The Wexford hat is crocheted from the top down with fingering weight yarn, length and circumference are easily adjustable.

Yardage amounts include a 10% margin.
