Koko Leopard Crochet Hat

"Bold. Playful. Effortlessly chic. The Koko Hat celebrates the wild side of tapestry crochet with a modern leopard-print design that’s surprisingly easy to make. Using two contrasting colors and simple stitch repeats, you’ll watch each spot emerge like a brushstroke — rhythmic, meditative, and endlessly satisfying. Worked from the brim up in tapestry crochet, this cozy hat blends classic shape with eye-catching detail. It’s a perfect project for learning color changes, reading tapestry charts, and mastering consistent tension while carrying yarns. I love how this design feels both fearless and wearable — it adds instant personality to any outfit while keeping you warm all season long."
