The Kid’s Vintage Hat Crochet Pattern is a simple hat made with all half double crochet! And again with the half double crochet in the 3rd loop… I really LOVE using this technique and the texture look it gives.
This hat is the 4th pattern in the Crochet Along for a Cause. We are making 1 hat per week to donate to a cancer center, school, or homeless shelter all summer long. There’s always time to join! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.
