My crochet hat pattern

I have been making lots of hats lately and thought I would finally write out my pattern for an adult size hat to help me remember it. I always think I will remember and then I stop making hats and have to remember all over again how I make them. So - here is my pattern to share with you and help me remember! Here are some pictures of my recent creations! I hope this pattern helps you!
