Crochet Herringbone Hat – Free Pattern

Notes

• Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
• This hat is worked from bottom to top, starting with the ribbed brim.
• Where asterisks appear, repeat the instructions between them.
• Pattern is written for smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses.
• To work a gauge swatch, chain 20 then work the hat body portion from the pattern below for 20 total rows.
• Important: When working slip stitches in ch-1 spaces, make sure to work over the front of the fabric and not around the whole piece (which would cinch the fabric).
• “2 rows below” will always be an even number row during repeat rows. For example, from R5 you will work into R2, from R7 you will work into R4
