Hili means ‘braid’ in Hawaiian; we used this name for obvious reasons
I use several worsted weight yarns with this pattern and they all work incredibly well! At the end of the
pattern, you will see some photos of each to see how they both work up.
You will notice there is no gauge – I don’t use a gauge. I will say that I do very tight stitches, as you can
see in the photos of the hat. If you tend to crochet a bit more loosely, you may want to drop down to an I
(5.50mm) hook and see how the first few rows come out.
This pattern is for an adult-size hat. Please read through pattern and see notes at end before starting.
