Easy pattern for a beginner. Takes about a skein of yarn and is scrap yarn friendly. A great way to use up small bits of yarn from your stash. The hat crochets quickly and is perfect for a rainy day or while watching TV.

The hat has a vertical rib design that results in a nice dense hat for warmth but also a super stretchy hat. You can adjust the hat size as you crochet to make it as snug or loose as you like. If you want it to be more of a slouchy hat that can also be done by lengthening the beginning row.
