I hope you will enjoy these crochet hat patterns that I have hand picked for you. These are ranging from simple beginner crochet hats worked in different ways using a range of yarn weights.

Furthermore, you crochet a double crochet on top of a single crochet and vice versa to create the amazing texture and look of a lemon peel. Furthermore, the Lemon Peel Stitch has such a great texture that would be perfect for other makes such as infinity scarf, fingerless gloves and headband as well. HOW TO CROCHET THE LEMON PEEL HAT – EASY FREE PATTERN is a tutorial here on my blog.
