Free Tutorial – Wig Hat Crochet Pattern – Infant and Child

“I printed this one off yesterday, already have 3 hats ready to be finished off. Much easier than others I've tried! Thank you!!! I like the hdc so much better. Your increases in the first few rows are so simple to memorize, and yours was the first pattern, after looking at several, that clearly shows how to add the bangs & ponys! I tried another with the loop stitch and wasn't happy with the results, looked uneven and took to much time. ( I've been crocheting for over 45 yrs. )” – Janet Ruth Neumann Weidner
