Because the winter version of this hat uses bulky yarn, a big hook and an open mesh stitch, it crochets up very quickly. It’s the perfect last minute gift—for someone else or yourself!

Instructions are also included for a spring version of this hat using one skein of Shibui Heichi yarn and size G crochet hook.
