Crochet terminology: Both US and UK Terms are available.

Made from Quality Bendigo Mill Luxury 10 ply, but any Aran weight yarn would work.

Ribbing is worked first. Then the Main Body of the hat is worked. This is made up of Split Puff stitches (photos to show how), Back Post Double/Treble Crochet and alternating in rows in two colours. The result is quite a unique looking hat.

I would consider this to be an easy/intermediate level project.

This hat has been tested and my testers have produced some very beautiful hats. Their colour and yarn choices were all unique.

This is a written pattern and has a graph is also included to help with placement of colour change.
