The PDQ

From <em>Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet:&nbsp; The Happy Hooker</em>:<br /> <br /> This hat is worked in the back loop of each stitch, which gives it a cool stripy effect, while granny squares influence the pattern rows of clustered stitches.&nbsp; Vintage buttons give it two looks, since the earflaps can be worn fastened up or left hanging down for cozy warmth.&nbsp; This is a quick beginner's pattern and can be easily made in one devoted evening, as the whole thing's done with a combo of double crochet stitches.&nbsp; Any worsted weight yarn will work, bu the low cost and color variety available in acrylic mean you can make a bright one for every outfit.&nbsp;
