Looking for a free crochet hat pattern to try? This blue waves crochet hat free pattern printable PDF is a great project to try. It uses the half double stitch and the spike stich, which is an easy variation of the single crochet stitch.

The spike stitch makes a triangular pattern. It is an easy repeat but it does take more concentration on counting then most of my other patterns. You could make it with any gauge 3 yarn you would like.

A crocheted hat would make a great gift too. You can choose a color to go with their style or a neutral that would work for anyone. Scarves are practical too. With the rest of the yarn, I made a matching scarf.

I love the multi-colored yarn. I chose Herrschners® Pastry Plus in Umami because it reminds me of ocean and my favorite color is blue. This yarn is soft and easy to work with.

I made and easy ribbed crochet hat pattern using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick. The crochet hat pattern is an easy rectangle.
