The Gio hat pattern is my own, and it’s free right here on my blog. Using the Loops & Threads Zoomba again, I started out with a 10mm hook but the first three rounds came out larger than expected so I went down to a 9mm. Bad decision! The hat is no longer an adult size, but a child size (18″ circumference).

It’s not a big deal as I am just playing with no specific recipient in mind.

For the last two rounds I single crocheted with the Astrakan. I think it looks cute. What do you think?
