Knit-Look Crochet Hat

Design by Sarah Ruane from Ned & Mimi.

It’s easy to tell the difference between knit and crochet right!? This little hat might make you look twice :-)

This hat is crocheted from side to side. The top of the hat tapers inwards due to skipped stitches on alternate rows (there are plenty of photos in the pattern to help you out!). Having the top of the hat narrower than the bottom means there is less of a gap to close up when it comes to seaming and cinching in at the top.
