This gender-neutral crochet hat is part of the Christmas in July make-along with Marie from UndergroundCrafter. I am so glad to work with her again, she is such an awesome team player.
About the Christmas in July Make-along
If you like to make handmade or crocheted gifts, then this is a great time to get a head start on your Christmas makes. There are five categories to make from in each week in July:
- Week 1 (July 1-7): Gifts for Babies, Kids, and Teens
- Week 2 (July 8-14): Gifts for Women
- Week 3 (July 15-21): Gifts for Anyone
- Week 4 (July 22-28): Gifts for Home

These makes range from sewing, knit, crochet to other crafts. You can join any or all and share your makes with #cijmakealong2021 on your social platforms so that we can see them and share too.
You can also enter a giveaway for a chance to win cool prizes. All the details are on Marie’s blog (be sure to scroll to the end).
The v-stitch crochet hat is designed more like a scull cap, so there’s lots of room to customize it. It is an easy pattern to make, with a brim that makes it an eye-catching accessory depending on the colours you use. It can easily be styled into a beret, a slouch hat or pulled down over the ears, (see customization notes for that).
Looking for a v-stitch hat that is more like a beanie? Check out this v-stitch beanie that comes in nine sizes.
CUSTOMIZE
You can easily customize this crochet hat by making a few more rounds than stated in the pattern, before going on to trimming. The adult hat in this pattern reaches the top to mid ear depending on how it is worn.
You can also make the hat slouchy, it is all preference.
