Double-Double Crochet Hat by Kathy North - FAST!
Here's an awesome crochet hat pattern that I've made lots of, Double-Double Crochet Hat. If I'm totally focused, I can bang out a hat in less than an hour. You can vary the yarn colors and combinations too, and make them look totally different -- variegated throughout, solid rainbow stripes, the sky's the limit!
The pattern as written makes a big girl's/ladies hat. For a child's hat, I think I worked rows 1-3 as written, and then skipped to row 5, with no more increases. You can add an extra row or two, so they can roll up the brim, or just have it a bit longer to be sure their ears are well covered.
For a big guy/man's hat, I would follow the directions as is, but use a size M crochet hook -- that worked better for me, rather than adding rows and additional stitches around (mine came out too loose for my husband's head, he was my guinea pig, lol!).
Enjoy!

This is a great way to use two or three thinner yarns or for extra thickness three worsted yarns. I love anything that works up quick. Thanks so much, I've printed this one off. And thanks for the tip about the man's sizing as many older boys need warm hats.
