Almost a Love Story Hat

Almost a Love Story Hat is inspired by the Foxtail Lily just before it blooms, when its tiny buds form a tall, elegant spike full of texture and rhythm. That fleeting moment became the inspiration for the hat's distinctive botanical stitch pattern, creating a timeless accessory that is both warm and sophisticated.

Worked from the bottom up in the round using turned rounds, the hat is finished with crown decreases and a perpendicular ribbing that beautifully mimics the look of knitted ribbing.

Designed for intermediate crocheters, the pattern includes three sizes, fully written instructions, a complete stitch chart, and step-by-step video tutorials for the special techniques. Along the way, you'll learn how to crochet in turned rounds, create rich botanical textures with post stitches, and work a perpendicular ribbing that gives the finished hat a polished, professional look. I'd love to see your version of the Almost a Love Story Hat!
