Double Crossed Hat

"This pretty striped hat is made up of crossed double crochet stitches. This is an easy pattern and I have included photo support for the stitches and the pattern is provided in multiple sizes ranging from Preemie to Adult (and a couple extra in-between). As always with the hats I design, sizes are based on math (circumference and pi) - so check the head size of the recipient to be sure they fit into the ‘suggested’ size ranges if you have a head to check. We all know heads do not always conform to ‘standard’ sizes. I have included the head size, as well as, the finished hat size for each hat because hats need to be a bit smaller than the head they are meant to fit or else after they stretch they will no longer fit. These hats will stretch approximately 2 inches. Two hat lengths have also been included - the hat has been designed to reach the base of the earlobe and additional instructions are provided to make this hat reach mid-ear length instead."
