When I create new hats, I always love seeing what unique textures I can come up with for them. This one uses the bead stitch and some crossed double crochets to create a really cool x’s and o’s repeat pattern. This is rated for a more intermediate crocheter, but once you get the hang of the bead stitch it can go fast. The bead stitch has a video tutorial linked and it’s pretty simple if you know how to do a puff or popcorn stitch. Hope you enjoy your hats!
