Crochet Cluster V-Stitch Hat with Bernat POP! Yarn

With a ball of Bernat Pop! Yarn, you can make at least two Crochet Cluster V-Stitch Hats! I love this particular color called “POP ART” which has an adorable neon/spring rainbow colo way. No sense in buying multiple skeins of (red, orange, yellow, green, blue) yarn, all the colors you need are right here! I decided to deconstruct the ball before crocheting with it. This means that I separated the colors and crocheted with them as needed so I could get perfect rows of color.

I am using the cluster v-stitch for the main part of the hat. This is basically the same pattern as my Messy Bun Hats, except you won’t have a hole at the top and I changed the brim a bit. You can find my Messy Bun Hats HERE.

The cluster v-stitch works up super fast and you can make these hats in no time at all! This hat comes in 3 sizes: Large, Medium, and Small. The Large fits a teen/adult, the medium is for an older child, and the small is a younger child. You can easily adjust the hook size, tension, and even yarn thickness (if you choose a different yarn) to create different sizes if desired.

Hat sizes when laid flat: (not including pom)
Large: 10 inches wide x 9 inches tall
Medium: 8.75 inches wide x 8 inches tall
Small: 7.5 inches wide x 7 inches tall
Doll: 5 inches wide x 4 inches tall

I have made a video tutorial for you explaining the v-stitch and how to make all the increase rows of the medium size hat. I will also walk you through the ribbed edging.
