Hats are one of my favorite projects to crochet. This hat is easy and quick to make. It is worked from the top down in spiral rounds so there is no need for chaining or joining rounds with slip stitches. The hat starts with four rounds of increases and then is worked straight down. The main stitch used is double crochet stitch and the hat is edged with reverse single crochet. I am using bulky weight yarn so the hat is very quick to make.
The video tutorial shows how to crochet this easy hat step by step.

Note on gauge: If you just want to make a hat and anticipate a recipient to grow into it then proceed without checking the gauge. If a certain size of the hat is desired, make sure to check your gauge. You can either make a gauge swatch (recommended) or measure stitch gauge in the last crown round.

Pattern notes:
• The hat is worked in continues rounds without joining from the top of the hat down.
• Use stitch marker to keep track of rounds. Place a stitch marker in a last stitch of a row. When the stitch marker is reached, remove it, work specified stitches and replace the stitch marker.
