Hope in Cotton Hat

Hope in Cotton Sized to fit: Adult Women (head circumference 23″) Height: 7.5″ Yarn: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn (Lily Sugar and Cream will substitute) Hook: 5.00 mm (H) Gauge: 12 sts (worked in pattern) = 3.75″ ; 8 rounds = 3″ To make this hat using Worsted Weight Yarn – Red Heart With Love, please use a 5.50 mm crochet hook and follow the same pattern instructions. I have tested this and it works out to the correct measurements. To make these hats a little longer to reach the base of the ear (rather than mid-ear length) add 4 additional rounds (in the repeat round 10 section). This hat works up quite quickly using the worsted weight cotton yarn. Cotton is the perfect choice for both warmer climates and summer weather – as cotton is more absorbent and breathes well. The finished hat is super soft and comfortable to wear.
