Crossed Pathways Crochet Hat Pattern

The Crossed Pathways Hat is a stylish crochet pattern that features rows of modified crossed stitches alternating with rows of dc, for a unique design. This pattern is perfect for advanced beginner crocheters looking to add a bold accessory to their winter wardrobe.

The Design Inspiration

I’ve been working with x-stitches lately (for the Cross My Heart Hat, as well as the ….) and I thought it would be fun to use the x-stitch and alternate it with a fuller row of stitches to create a fun, visual effect that wasn’t too hard to achieve.
