Solstice Winter Hat

"The Solstice Hat free crochet pattern is perfect for beginners. Using half double crochet stitches, create a warm and stylish winter hat that is flattering on men or women. This hat is worked from side to side and then seamed together. Wear with the edge folded up to create a brim and a classic beanie look, or unfolded for the trendy slouchy look. To make this hat, I used Lion Brand Wool Ease (80% acrylic, 20% wool), but you can substitute any size 4, heavy worsted or aran weight yarn. "
