Hearts Hat
"The Heart Hat is beginner-friendly and displays a series of charming hearts in a row. This hat is made from the bottom up primarily in double crochet and front post double crochet stitches for the main body of the hat through the color work section, then there are several decreasing rounds to create a more fitted beanie. Ribbing is added to the bottom edge for an easy fit. The hearts are made by following a color work chart - changing colors as you go. There is a link provided to help you with reading a graph, changing colors as well as carrying or floating your colors on the back side of your work to minimize ends. Pattern includes written round by round instructions as well as full-color graphs. "
