Everly Summer Hat Crochet Pattern

I would like to welcome the beautiful Everly Summer Hat to my pattern collection. This is my first summer hat design and I am thrilled with how it turned out. The pattern comes in 7 sizes; 0-6 months, 6-12 months,1-2 years, 3-5 years, 6-10 years, Teen, and Adult. This hat works up so quickly so you will be able to make one in a couple of evenings or a long, lazy afternoon. The pattern includes all the written instructions you need plus some video tutorials for any tricky techniques. The hat is quite stretchy so fits a with a negative ease of 0-5cm/0-2 in. Keep cool and look cool with the Everly Summer Hat! Check out the other pattens in The Everly Collection, hat pictured with the Everly Top & Skirt.
