The Summer Diamonds Hat features an easy diamond pattern around the brim. This lightweight beanie is the perfect crochet chemo hat pattern for summer. The simple pattern is crocheted top down, in breathable cotton yarn. Crochet chemo caps have an important job–to cover hair loss from chemo treatment, but they can be beautiful too. This gorgeous hat works for coverage while not being overly hot, even in warmer weather.

Summer Diamonds Crochet Hat is a top-down adult beanie worked in the round with a diamond colorwork motif built from stripe sequencing in Modern Cotton DK. The geometric pattern is charted and written out fully, so whether you prefer to follow a visual grid or row-by-row text, you have everything you need. Lightweight cotton construction makes this a hat for warmer days and transitional seasons.
