The Pay-it-Forward Protest Hats pattern has six different hat bands to choose from (Resist, No Kings, We Know What We Saw, Ice Out, Melt the Ice, and Vote✓), as well as a chart-your-own option. From the hat band up, the hat has two separate layers, one of each color, with a matching pom pom on top. This interlocking filet crochet pattern provides both row-by-row written instructions as well as design charts for reference. Since this design has many diagonal stitches, it is recommended for someone who is comfortable with the interlocking filet mesh technique.
