There are so many beautiful knitting patterns for hats constructed with Malabrigo Rasta - of course there are, it knits up so quickly and each skein offers such beautiful and unique colors. But this is a crochet blog! So I wanted to bring the crochet aesthetic to Rasta, and thought that a simple moss stitch was the best way to do it (not to mention, it goes nice and fast when you get to crochet in the chain spaces!). While I try my absolute best to make these patterns as simple to follow and as reproducible as possible, they are untested (feedback is welcome!), and one area I’ve noticed can sometimes lead to variation due to the nature of the moss stitch is the tightness of that chain space. My advice is to remember to go easy on the tension, your chain stitches should be about the same size as the single crochet - or you will end up with a very tight hat that will not increase in size very gracefully. This hat is sized for adults, but you could easily make it smaller by leaving out the last increase row and taking a few rows off of the length. I just love to watch the colors unfold before my eyes as I make this hat, and I wish you the same joy.
