I am always hesitant of patterns that claim they can be made within a certain time frame. Especially for new crocheters. It can be frustrating to start a project that claims it will only take 30 minutes when you are onto minute 60 and still not done. Just remember that everyone makes and their own pace.
Apparently I am a very slow crocheter. It takes me forever to make things in crochet. But that being said, I probably could make this hat in only 30 minutes. The thick yarn and big crochet hook would allow this hat pattern to work up really quickly. The joys of super bulky yarns!
Do you like super bulky hats? Super bulky crochet items were very trendy for quite a while – they do not seem as popular anymore. But this could be a great pattern to use for charity making. A crafter could make many hats for the homeless or a charity of their choosing for fundraisers.
