If you’re looking for a simple ribbed crochet hat pattern with just a little pizzazz look no further. With this design you can work up a wide ribbed hat with stretchy brim in a day or less than a day.
It is beginner friendly and your may already have the yarn you need on hand in your stash!
I designed project trackers! This is the large print version for tired eyes. So much easier than using apps, scraps of paper or a plain notebook.
Three project sizes, a handy ruler and hook guide inside the cover and plenty of rooms for notes in each pattern.
A handy 9″ x 6″ size.

Green is my favorite and this guacamole shade from Red Heart soft is the perfect shade to me. This pattern is based on a 4 weight yarn. The hat is worked in the round from the top down, continuing into the ribbed brim.
