Ezra Hat


A Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern



I have a brand new Pattern to share with you today. This is a Tunisian Crochet pattern, and I would label it an intermediate pattern. If you have made projects before with Tunisian crochet then I would classify this pattern as easy. This hat is worked flat and then seamed at the very end, so there is no need to learn how to Tunisian Crochet in the round.

The things that I love most for the Ezra Hat is that it is a quick make. I'm able to make it in about 4 hours. It has good texture and form that would work well as a lady's or men's hat. As you read through the pattern you will also realize that is is really adaptable to make it fit just the way you want it to.



Where to purchase the pattern

This is a free pattern on the blog. To find the free Adult size pattern, just keep scrolling down to see the full pattern. 

If you would like to purchase an ads free, printer friendly PDF. It will be available in all three of my shops on Ravelry, Etsy and LoveCrafts. If you ever see this pattern elsewhere know that it is not coming from me, and could be a scam. 

In the PDF pattern you will find pictures, charts and  fully written instructions for 4 sizes, baby, child, tween/teen, and adult. 

I hope you will consider purchasing the pattern to help support future patterns.
