We are in the middle of winter now, and you know, the winner of this season is always knitwear. Scarves, gloves, hats and sweaters, so warm soft, voluminous and enveloping. This is the thing that I prefer most of this season.
As much I love all kinds of knitting, my greatest love is always crochet. For this reason, I decided to make this hat imitating knitting works but making everything with crochet! To obtain knitting effect you should not work in round (as you normally do for crochet hats) but you have to work in rows without increases or decreases but varying the type of stitches. Once you have a rectangle, you need to close it like a cylinder and then sew the back of the hat to obtain a puckering seam.

For this work I used:
