Zig Zag Hat

"If you’re looking for a fun and easy pattern to brighten up your winter makes, this free crochet pattern is a great way to dive into chevron stitch and zigzag designs without any fuss.  This hat uses worsted weight yarn and classic double crochet stitches to create a beautiful texture with a modern twist, making it one of those versatile crochet project ideas you’ll reach for again and again.  I love crochet hats that come together quickly, offer different sizes, and allow plenty of color choices, and this stitch pattern is perfect for experimenting with different colors, a new color in each repeat row, or subtle color changes for a classic look. Whether you enjoy free patterns, warmer patterns, fun designs, or crochet beanies with a little extra personality, this zigzag pattern is a great addition to your next project.  It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift, especially when you customize the color combinations using your favorite weight of medium weight yarn. The texture of the hat comes from simple increases worked before the next stitch and clean cluster work in between each last stitch of the row, giving the whole piece much attention without adding difficulty.  The skill level is friendly—even if you’re still building your crochet skills—and the easy flow of the last row makes it a relaxing project for all makers."
