I think the easiest way to dress up a basic crochet hat is to use an interesting colorway. I have more than a few multi-colored skeins in my stash and decided to try some Bernat Mosaic for this pattern. It has long lengths of each color, which creates the beautiful striping from black, to magenta, to a light pink blush. These are my sister’s favorite colors, so I’m sure she’ll be calling dibs on this one. ;o) Happy crocheting!

Supplies:

• Worsted weight yarn; I used less than one of skein of Bernat Mosaic in Pink Poodle for the Medium Adult size
