Hot Textures Crochet Hat

Chunky, stylish hats are easy to make with today's textural yarns. This hat has twice the texture, since it's made with a smooth ribbon yarn and a nubby acrylic yarn hooked together.
For even more surface interest, the pattern creates a ribbed effect by working single crochet stitches through the back loop on every row.
