With spring almost here, it is time to put away those thick winter hats. In San Diego, while it is not a state known for seasons like the east coast, a nice breathable tam or beret is the perfect complement to sunny California.

Here is a quick and easy pattern to enjoy for spring. A few disclaimers first:
Please do not post this pattern on your website or take it as your own. I ask that you instead link to my page, which will help with internet karma. Mainly yours. Of course you can sell anything you make from this pattern.
Materials:
Worsted Weight yarn, color of your choice. I used red heart yarn.
I hook
Tapestry needle
Stitches and terms used:
Double crochet – dc
Half double crochet - hdc
Treble crochet –tr
Slip Stitch – sl st
Stitch - st
Fasten off - fo
Hat is worked in rounds with a loose hand, so if you are used to crocheting tight, you may want to go up a hook size. Also instead of crocheting into the loops the normal way, you want to crochet over the loops or more accurately between the stitches. Refer to the pictures in the slide show if you are unsure.
