Meredith Hat

Here is another hat pattern from me. I love how this hat turned out and I am happy to say that I only made this hat in just an hour. Well, it depends on how fast you crochet but I don't think that I am that fast a crocheter, so I believe you can make this hat in an hour also. I am using a bigger hook here because I am using a worsted yarn and I don't want this hat to be stiff.
