My testers for the matching barrel bag requested a matching hat, so this design was born. Is there anything more punk rock than a toxic waste barrel as your hat? ☢️

Required Materials:
Medium (Worsted-4) Cotton Yarn. Unfortunately some of the yarn I used was Joann’s brands of cotton yarn Big Twist Sturdy Cotton Neon Lime (66yd) and Neon Yellow (17yd). I also used Caron All Day Cotton Gray (142 yd) and Black (35 yd). This was for a size Small hat - multiply the yardage by 1.6 for size Large.
4.0 and 3.0 mm crochet hooks
Scissors, stitch markers, tapestry needle, and measuring tape or ruler

This pattern uses US Crochet Terms in English. This pattern is a “beginner plus” level, with lots of pictures and explanations on how to make your own hat with dripping slime appliques. I say “beginner plus” because you need to be ready to tackle a lot of color changes and pay attention to gauge. There are four sizes to the hat - Child/Small/Medium/Large - based on the circumference of your head (from 18” to 24”).

You may sell the finished product made using this pattern but give Hook & Riot credit when doing so. Inspiration is fine, but do not copy this pattern directly and sell it as your own.
