This easy crochet hat can be worked in 6 different sizes (from 17.5” to to 25.25”)!
This design is worked in continuous rounds of single crochet stitches, creating a seamless design that’s gorgeous from any angle.
The brim is also added in continuous rounds of slip stitches and double crochet, in simple repeats!
It’s a great pattern because:
- Hats are quick and easy projects to work up – especially with super bulky yarn!
- Chunky hats are great projects for winter and cooler months!
- This project is perfect for lots of different head sizes (17.5” – 25.25”), whether you’re male or female (it’s not gender specific).
- You’ll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: continuous rounds, stitch tension, gauge & size, post stitches, slip stitches, finishing techniques & more!
