V-stitches are so easy to make and they are so beautiful. You never know how easy it is to make by looking at the finished product. And have you ever combine two different type of yarn in a project? here I used Red Heart with Love and Red Heart Super Saver. I choose this yarn not because of the type but because of the colors and the availability. So here is my quick and easy V-stitch hat. Hope you all enjoy making this hat.

Row 2. SC in first st. SC in next and the rest in BLO. Chain1, turn.
