Block Stitch Chunky Hat

The **Block Stitch Chunky Crochet Hat** is a perfect project for beginners and seasoned crocheters alike! Made with warm and dense Aran weight yarn, this cozy hat works up quickly in *joined and turned rounds* using simple *double crochet and single crochet* stitches—making it an easy yet satisfying make. The Block Stitch, a slight variation of the classic granny stitch, adds beautiful texture and a timeless look while remaining effortless to master. Whether you're making one for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this hat is perfect for everyone, with *seven sizes included* in the pattern to fit all ages. Quick, stylish, and beginner-friendly, it’s a must-have for chilly days! We'll begin by crocheting the brim in rows, then join it to work the body in the round with alternating colors (carrying them up inside the hat for fewer ends to weave in), finishing with decreases at the top. Add a pompom if desired, and you’re done!
