This hat is so easy, quick, and fun. If you can chain and double crochet, you can make Eli! Eli is simply a double crochet tube made with 2 strands of chunky weight yarn held together, and then it is gathered at the top with a chain stitch draw string. Pom poms can then be added onto the ends of the drawstrings for extra fun! You can also find a pattern for this hat made with 2 strands of worsted yarn, here. Make a matched set with the Ali cowl (which can also be worn on its own as a hood) or the Leo scarf.
