Breezy Toddler Hat

standard doily pattern, then added sides and brim in size 10 Crochet Cotton Thread, size 2mm hook I started with an old-fashioned doily pattern for the crown, then meshed in the edges and added solid rounds for the sides, finished with a picot edging to make this lightwieght little hat. I think the blue color really makes it look current---I wish there were more complicated crochet patterns out there. The current fashion is for chunky, simple designs that use only a few basic stitches and uncomplicated patterns. The intricate lace and doily patterns that are outdated in style are WAY more challenging and fun to do, but the results are usually only applicable for Grandma's christmas present.
