This textured crochet hat uses just a little bit of self-striping bulky yarn. It features my version of the Modified Silt stitch.
This pattern is part of the Hat of the Month Club hosted by Rhondda of Oombawka Design and Amy at The Sitchin Mommy. I released a matching scarf pattern for their Scarf of the Month Club last week!
