Notes

Ribbing Texture: The single crochet back loop only (sc blo) ribbing creates a stretchy, textured band that fits snugly around your head. Make sure to keep your tension even when working in the back loop to maintain a uniform ribbed effect.
Sizing: The pattern is written for adult-sized hats, but it can easily be adjusted for kids. Simply reduce the number of stitches in the ribbing or adjust the length of the hat to suit smaller heads.
Quick & Simple: With minimal decreases and easy stitches, this pattern works up quickly, making it perfect for holiday gifts or last-minute Christmas crochet hats. You'll be wearing it or gifting it in no time!
