Pop of Color Waves Slouchy Hat
Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.
This slouchy hat combines gentle waves in neutral colors with a hat band and pom pom in a vibrant, contrasting color. It’s a beginner-friendly project as there is no decreasing. This is the first pattern in the fourth annual Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along.
