Haileyville Hat

"Haileyville Hat begins with a ribbed band and then works up from there in half double crochet stitch. The swirling lines of chain spaces are actually created by stacking the chain spaces on top of one another. Because of the natural bias of half double crochet stitch, those stacked chains spaces move diagonally across the hat instead of straight up and down! This free crochet hat pattern has a matching free cowl pattern as well. The hat includes just one size for adults and uses worsted weight yarn."
