Snowy Mountains A Free Crochet Hat Pattern



Snowy Mountains Hat Pattern
A Free Crochet Hat Pattern

This hat represents both warmth and comfort for the coldest of days. 
A stylish hat, yet simply made with the most common crochet st's. 
The technique is called mosaic crochet, it's enough to scare the
most seasoned crocheters away, but don't let the name "mosaic"
scare you off as you have most definitely used this technique
without even realizing it

This hat can be made in many sizes, from new born to large adult using a stitch count in multiples of 8.
You can also use a thicker yarn and larger hook.
Once the band has been made and joined for the size of your hat, the 1st row of the body of your hat will be adjusted for the pattern stitch count

Round 1.  (Using contrast Color):  Ch 1, work 1 bl sc in each st of the round, sl st to join and change color to main color
Round 2. Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in the next 2 st's, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next st* repeat from *to* to end, sl st to join and change color
Round 3.  Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in the next st, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next st, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below* repeat from *to* to end, sl st to join and change color
