Description
Learn the classic houndstooth crochet stitch with this easy, unisex crochet hat pattern, available in 8 sizes from newborn to adult large. Worked top-down with simple stitches and a comfy ribbed brim, this design is perfect for confident beginners looking to create a timeless, two-colour hat that really pops!
The Houndstooth Family Hat was designed as part of the Crochet Cancer Challenge 2025, in lavender shades to raise awareness for oesophageal cancer, a cause close to my heart.
