From pin to reality | Crochet hat

I am so excited about this one, because when I had learned this I made about six hats!

These crochet hats looks kind of beanie like, but if you (as did I) just continue to crochet for a few more rows it gets that slouchy look that I love. 

The hat pattern uses a stitch to make the ribbed band and then the puff stitch to make the rest of the hat. It might sound complicated, but once you learn them they are so easy, I promise! 
What I learned though, was that the pattern requires quite a lot of yarn, since with the puff stitch you gather yarn 4 times = 4 double stitches for each. 

I am making a few for Holiday gifts!
