Ombre Puffs Crochet Hat Pattern

Introduction

Hello everyone! I can’t believe I’m here again at day 7 of the ten days of giving Thanksgiving pattern blowout. Today I am bringing you the final piece of the ombre set which is a nice puff stitch crochet hat. The rest of this set includes a messy bun hat and a face warmer that matches both the crochet hats, which you can see below. If you haven’t been able to tell lately I have been really enjoying the puff stitch, so much so I even have my dog wearing it. (Which you can see here https://crochetwithkim.com/1vfc.) Living in Northern Minnesota, however, means that our winters are very cold, and the puff stitch is so thick, warm, and it looks amazing.

Let’s get hooking.

Conclusion

I hope you all enjoyed today’s crochet hat pattern I really loved making it and it came out nice and warm. This could be a great option to make for gifts, especially if you include the whole set. It can also be a great option for stocking craft fair booths or donating to homeless shelters.

Speaking of homeless shelters I would like everyone to remember that this is the 10 days of giving pattern blowout. Shelters need crochet items especially this time of year, as well as schools, hospitals, and women’s shelters. If you don’t happen to have a shelter near you then I highly suggest looking at the I am not lost scarf project. Also, even if you can’t make anything this year a look through your old projects could really help someone.

Once again I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern and as always happy hooking.
