Puffs and Valleys Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Women standing in front of a brick wall wearing a crochet hat. The hat has a simple brim with the rest of it being highly textured.

Hello Everyone!

It’s Friday again! I hope everyone out there is staying safe with the quarantines going on. Today I’m bringing you a new hat pattern to work up to keep you from going stir crazy stuck inside.

This hat uses a series of different textured stitches and is worked from the bottom up. The brim on this hat is super simple and works up super quickly.

This hat works up quickly and it has a multiple-row repeat for those looking for a more involved crochet hat pattern. This hat will also be great for stocking up craft fair booths since any color you do it in will cause it to look very unique. And hey we’re in a perfect time to sit inside and work on building an inventory!

Notes

Gauge= 4 HDC= 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters. Each repeat (3 HDC rows and the puff stitch row)= 3 centimeters.

Those who crochet loose may need to go down to a 5mm hook to meet the gauge.

You will be working the puff stitches in the back loop only. Pull gently when working your puff stitches to avoid a large gap.

Band of hat is worked flat.
