BASIC ADULT HAT

This hat pattern is very quick and easy. With this pattern, I can whip out about one every day! This would look amazing in a solid color, stripes, or so many other variations. As you can see in the picture below, I've added stripes, a whip stitch finish on the bottom and more! This is a really easy pattern to have fun with and make your own. 

If you use this pattern or make something to donate, please use the hashtag #aheartforthehomeless - I'd love to see all everybody's unique creations!
