Wednesday Facebook Fan Favorite… Week 22

.

This week we have another great Free Crochet Hat Pattern as our weekly Facebook Fan Favorite!!!!  This hat was one I reviewed earlier this week and totally fell in love with!!!  The one I made will be headed to a charity later this week along with several other items…  This Free Crochet Hat pattern was one of the largest Fan Favorites so far!!!

If you haven’t tuned in to my daily segment ” Daily Free Pattern Find…Would use wear this? Would you make it? Tell me what you think… Here is the FREE PATTERN link if you like it..”  Take a peek!!! Each day I feature a free crochet pattern that I have found during my internet browsing…  You can see past segments in my Photo Album titled the same over on Facebook!  The winners are chosen by Facebook Fans liking, commenting and sharing these segments… So cast your vote over on Facebook for next week’s Fan Favorite!!

Here is this weeks Facebook Fan Favorite….

The pattern is written in Italian… But also has a graph and English directions! I am not clear if they wrote this pattern or translated it from another site…  The pattern is made of basic stitches and was very easy for an intermediate crocheter!  The only problem I ran into was… They left out the directions for rows 11-14… It was simple for me to figure out by looking at the hat that we were just going to repeat the 9 & 10 two more times and then continue to the directions for rows 15-20… The nice thing about this hat was… It turned out exactly like the picture and I love it!!  If you want to make this hat don’t shy away because of the multi language  directions… The English version is typed in red and easy to see… and if you remember to repeat rows 9 & 10 for the missing directions you will have no problem if you are a beginner!  Click Here for the Free Crochet Pattern!
