This month for our Crochet Along, I am sharing my Bright Blue Alpine Hat Pattern. This pretty textured crochet hat pattern follows a simple crochet stitch pattern created with double crochet stitches (dc) and Front Post Treble Crochet stitches (FPtr).

I’ve used this stitch before for some of my designs and I love the effect it creates. The stitch is known as the Alpine Stitch.

To make my Bright Blue Alpine Hat you will need Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 4.5 mm (7) crochet hook.

Get last week’s scarf crochet pattern that uses the same yarn for free here: Easy Crochet Pocket Scoodie

My Bright Blue Alpine Hat is available in sizes newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, small child (3-5 years), child (6-10 years), teen, adult (medium) and adult (large).
