Start with granny squares! Isn’t that the advice that so many people give new crochet enthusiasts? But who wants to start with a blanket or a random granny square that then just gets tossed in the corner and forgotten about.
This hat is a great way to practice those simple techniques that granny squares can teach us but without being daunting, like a blanket. Hats are great beginner projects and utilizing the granny stitch is a great way to learn about that classic stitch.
I also love the use of colour with this hat. Solid yarns with a stark contrast gives such a different look than the variegated/tonal variation. One is a pop of colour and the other is a subtle use of colour.
