Multi-Strand Big Bow Hat: Crochet Pattern
I don't seem to crochet as much during the hot summer months, but it is finally starting to cool down here, and my yarn is coming out again. So here's a little hat for you to work up if your yarn is coming out again too. Fresh off my hooks, the Multi-Strand Big Bow Hat. I got my inspiration for this hat the other day when my little sweetheart and I were using yarn to outline shapes as part of our preschool activities. After we were done doing our shapes, I took a few of the yarn scraps and braided them into a bracelet for my little girl. The different colors and yarn weights looked so cool braided together, I decided I needed to make a hat using the same yarns. I worked up a simple hat with the three yarns and a large hook, and then added a fun bow made out of the lightest weight ...
