What free crochet pattern to post next??

I have been wondering what crochet pattern to post next. I make all of my hats out of my head, I never know what the hat is going to look like until I am finished.

I want to start writing down all of my fresh ideas, I just wish it didn't take so darn long to put pattern to paper.

But if there is any ideas what pattern I should post next, let me know.

Have a great day everyone.

Slip st in that loop and in the next single strand sc. Drop one of the strands of yarn and sc the rest of the hat, join. End yarn or…


Optional:
Last row: chain 1 and slip st all around the hat loosely (brim included), join. (I find this helps to keep the hat from over stretching and losing its shape.) End yarn.

Weave in all loose ends.

The bonus to this pattern…….
Leave the brim out of the pattern, just end it on row 16 and you have a great looking beret hat.

I encourage you to experiment with this pattern, if there is something you want to add, like another color. Then do it. If you think of another kind of stitch should be used, then use it. It’s like cooking, follow the recipe once and after that, one changes it to make it their own.

Enjoy and I hope you had fun because I sure did.
