This is a fun hat for trying out different stitches of various heights. The, well, Lucky Stripe stripe around the crown is a cool bit of character in an otherwise standard-ish beanie. I used a second color to provide that pop, but you could just as easily go monochrome. This pattern is suitable for an intermediate crocheter, but a tenacious beginner could do this just as easily. And no, I’m not going to ask you if you feel lucky. I’m just not going to do it.
