The Crosby Hat Pattern
This is NOT a listing for a finished hat. This is a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD that will expire 24 hours after first download so please keep that in mind when you decide where to download the file.
The Crosby Hat is the companion hat to the super bulky hat pattern called The Cascade Hat. Both feature bold zig-zags. The difference is that the Crosby is a double brim hat made with worsted weight yarn. The pattern is beginner friendly. Yes, even with the colorwork and even with the double pointed needles used in the decrease. You can cinch your hat at whatever point you want or better yet check out a youtube video on Double Pointed Needles. You’ll be shocked at how easy they really are once you see them in action.

1) Detailed yarn information on EIGHT of the sample hats in the listing.
2) Coloring sheet for planning out the order of your color changes

There are 6 color changes in the pattern, but that doesn’t mean you need 6 different colors of yarn. In fact I encourage you to repeat colors.* A coloring sheet is provided so you can map out the order of color changes/repeats. A sample graphic of six color combos to illustrate the variety of options you have for repeating colors.
* Tips for picking four colors for your hat are also included.
