We teach this lesson plan at our recurring Intermediate & Advanced Crochet Class. Sign up for your first session here to get started on this project!

Learn to crochet in the round and make a hat! This level two crochet class is the perfect next step after learning the basics.

In class we will start the hats at the top and learn how to increase evenly to create a circle. You'll learn the half double crochet stitch, then we'll go over how to use stitch markers and how to measure your hat so that it's a perfect fit!
