A very easy way to make a hat is making it sideways. You simply crochet a long rectangle and sew the ends and the top. And there you have a hat.

The Loop Stitch is a fun stitch to do and it gives you a great different texture, that can be used with all kinds of items. You decide whether you want the loops as they are, or if you want to cut them, when you are done.

I used Color Stacking which is a member of the Planned Pooling family. A great way to have fun with colors. The tutorial here helps you with your first color stacking project.
