Crochet Earflap Hat Pattern, Crochet Beanie Hat Pattern

Crochet earflap hat patterns, crochet hat patterns, and crochet beanie hat patterns are hard to find. Believe me, I've been there. I used to search and search through books, online websites, and pattern collections looking for a hat that I wanted to crochet. I would find outdated sites with wierd hat that normal people never worn. How difficult was it to find a normal, basic crochet hat pattern? It was frustrating - I knew what I wanted, but could never seem to find the perfect design. One day, after my websearches proved to be unsuccessful, I had a though. I've been crocheting for 11 years - I don't need a pattern. I should just design my own hat!

And so I did.

Over Christmas break last year, I finally wrote down a pattern for my very first hat - a crocheted newsboy hat. Normally, all the hats I crochet for my business, JJCrochet, are freeform and I never take the time to actually write down what I'm doing. I tested it a few times myself and had other crocheters test it before putting it on my Etsy store.

It's been a little over a year since I wrote it down and as of January 14th, I have sold 227 patterns of my Most Versatile Crocheted Newsboy Hat on Etsy. Apparently the people seem to like it. :)

So if you've been in the same situation as I have been - looking, searching, browsing and crying about the lack of good crochet patterns, stop your search. This hat is the end-all of hat patterns. (Notice the "Versatile" part in the name...) I like to be able to make multiple hats or different variations from the same pattern when I'm crocheting so I include instruction on how to make different options from the same pattern. You can make this with or without a brim, with or without a flower, or you can just make a plain, basic beanie - it's up to you! The pattern includes sizes to make hats for men, women, and it even includes sizes for children.
