Bella Swan La Push Hat
Materials:
* 1 skein Caron Simply Soft in grey (or whatever color you prefer, but Bella's is grey)
* 5.5mm crochet hook
* 1 large-eyed needle (for weaving in ends)
Some pre-pattern info:
I imagine you can use most worsted-weights single-stranded and accomplish the same feat; however, most of us know that Caron is not your typical worsted weight, so I double-stranded the whole thing. It's not a bad result at all. Just play around with the yarn until you're able to get the proper size to fit over your head
To make it look more like Bella's hat, you would use a thinner yarn and more rows in between the BPdc's, adding more length as you go. I kind of like the chunkier look.
As always, please let me know if you find any errors in my pattern
