Reese Candy Striped Tapestry Crochet Hat

"Classic stripes with a playful twist! The Reese Hat transforms simple double crochet stitches into a delicious swirl of color. Worked from the top down, its starburst crown flows into vertical stripes created by carrying two yarns as you go — no complicated colorwork required. Choose bold contrasts for a candy-shop vibe or soft tonal shades for something quietly elegant. The pattern is perfect for beginners learning to change colors and for experienced makers who love fast, meditative projects with striking results."
