This eye-catching crocheted hat is a great way to show off your school spirit. Just crochet it in your school's colors, and wear it on every occasion where showing your true colors counts.

The hat is sized for high-schoolers, college "kids" and adults, but the sizing is easily adaptable for kids too.

The hat is crocheted in back loop single crochet stitch, which is an easy variation of single crochet. This hat pattern is so easy that even kids can crochet it, which makes it even more fun.
