Easy Peasy One Skein Hat
With just one skein of yarn, you can work up this Easy Peasy One Skein Hat in no time! With any standard worsted weight yarn, work in the round to create this simple, classic crochet hat. Use half double stitches throughout to create a dense, thick construction to keep your head warm and the cold out. This pattern is just for a solid color hat, but if you have experience with changing colors, you can easily use as many colors as you want. Multiple sizes are provided, so make one for every member of your family!
NotesNotes:
•The pattern instructions are written so the seam of the hat runs straight (read more about it here)
•The hat can be started with a Magic Ring or with the instructions given in Round 1
•The starting chain does not count as a stitch
•Each round is started in the same stitch as your starting chain
•The end of each round is joined by slip stitching in the first stitch of the round, not the starting chain
