This adorable Sunflower Cap Crochet Pattern starts with a simple flower granny square pattern! Then the top of the hat is added. Not only is it an easy hat to make, but it was fun using a slightly different method than a typical hat.
This hat is the 9th pattern in the Crochet Along for a Cause. We are making 1 hat per week to donate to a cancer center, school, or homeless shelter for 12 weeks. There’s always time to join! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.
