To start your shell hat, you’ll need some essen­tial mate­ri­als: worsted-weight yarn, a cro­chet hook, and a tapes­try nee­dle. We’ll use sin­gle cro­chet, slip stitch, and the back loop tech­nique to add tex­ture to the hat. The easy cro­chet hat pat­tern is suit­able for begin­ners, and with our detailed video tuto­r­i­al, you’ll have no trou­ble fol­low­ing along.

If you would like a more over­sized hat, use a larg­er hook or make an increase round, or a small­er hat, use a small­er hook or delete one of the increase rounds.
