Crochet Dad’s children, grandchildren, and wife are sad to announce the passing of Crochet Dad (Gene) on January 3, 2022. We wanted to keep his patterns available for you to use to make beautiful creations for your loved ones--like the ones all of us treasure. Please know that we will not be able to provide support for these patterns, should you have questions. If you do make something with one of his patterns and post it to social media please use the #crochetdad hashtag to share with us. Also, sidenote about this specific pattern…he commonly wore this particular hat he made.

The flat cap is a very popular style - originally designed for men, but is very popular with women and teens.

The bill is crocheted using one strand of yarn, but is as thick as some hats using two (or more) strands.
