Last year I learned the ‘Herringbone Double Crochet’ stitch and it was just what this hat needed! Now I LOVE the design and couldn’t be more proud to share the pattern with you.
I hope you enjoy both the video tutorial and the written pattern. If you have ANY questions I’m always happy to help any way I can. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the design and to see pictures of your finished pieces (what colors you used, pom or no pom, etc) is always a huge treat for me! So please share!!

• Beginning chain does not count as a stitch in stitch counts
• Hat is worked from the top down
• stitch count in [ ] at the end of each round in order of size (smallest to largest)
• Outlining heart cut out in a contrasting colour is optional. As an alternative to
using super bulky yarn, two strands of DK (8 ply / size 3) yarn could be used
• Join rounds by slip stitching into first stitch made in round, to begin next round
create beginning chain and work first stitch into the same stitch that was used for join (first stitch from previous round) unless otherwise noted (ex: if pattern says to work first stitch where stitch marker was placed)
