I have been looking for an easy hat like this; I am sure it will be perfect for those people who have requested it and also for some charily crocheting for our local Santa Claus Girls, which gives Christmas gifts to needy children. I plan to double the head band, turn it to the inside and slip stitch it in place. Thanks so much.

Love my hat! Posted a picture of myself wearing on my Facebook timeline, and a gal said she wanted one–offered to pay me for it! I told her I’d make her one for free, just asked to say a prayer for my family.

Hi Amy, yes the bulky yarn will definitely change the size of the hat. If you can match the gauge in the pattern by using a smaller crochet hook, then you can work the pattern as is. If not, then you can remove some rounds. I haven’t made the hat with bulky yarn yet so I can’t tell you what to remove, etc. Also, the bulky yarn may make the hat stiffer than intended. You are more than welcomed to experiment with it, and let us know how it goes!

I’m wanting to make this with 144 yards of bulky (5) yarn
would that work okay or would it change the size too much? could i change hook size/stich count to fix it if so?

i am making this hat using #5 bulky yarn and using a j/6mm hook. i think i may start descreasing at row 17 instead of 15 but so far its looking good!!
