Willow Hat Pattern

Materials:

• 3 colors of WW yarn
  • 3 oz
  • I used Bernat Super Value for both of these

Terms/stitches used:

• Magic circle
• slip st: slip stitch
• ch: chain
• HBhdc: herringbone half double crochet
• sc: single crochet

Notes:

• The spike sc is also known as a long sc crochet.
• Feel free to replace ch 2 at the beginning of the rows with an alternative stitch.
• This hat is worked from the top down.
• The hat is worked row by row with a slip st into first st to secure the row before moving onto the next row.
• Following the hat body there are two options for the brim in the pattern instructions. Option 1 is the blue hat (color A is blue, color B mint, and color C is pink), option 2 is the brown (color A is brown, color B is purple, and color C is blue).
