It’s getting crunch time and we are all looking for the quick hat project! Simple sweetness is just the pattern to get you through some last minute “emergency” gifts! It’s simple enough for a beginner but the advanced crocheter can whip through quickly too! The self-striping of the yarn also gives that added touch to the project don’t you think? Add a flower and you’ll be all set!

going to start on this pattern thank you
I am working on this hat and my stitches look nothing like the picture! The picture looks very interesting and these double crochet stitches I am doing look nothing like the pattern. What am I doing wrong?

Are you talking about the increase rounds or the sc/dc stitches? I am left-handed so your pattern would probably go in the other direction visually but shouldn’t be that big of a difference. The yarn you are using could also be a reason for the different appearance too.
What color of yarn did you use for the simple sweetness hat?
Angela,
The color # is 0004. Homme Masculino is the colorway. Hope this helps.
