This is an easy FREE CROCHET pattern to make a warm crochet hat, my hubby loves this particular crochet hat, and wears it out and around, we live in the windy north of Scotland and these hats have been tried and tested. The thick ribbing band ensures he finds it a perfect fit and also keeps him cosy and warm.
I used hook 6.00mm
My Husbands Hat was worked using 2 strands of yarn (Double knitting, or you could use Aran) at the same time,
this reduces the "holes"
created by the double Crochet stitch and makes it a much warmer hat
