Make the Cookies and Cream Hat with just one skein of yarn and this free crochet pattern. The black and white colorway combined with the moss stitch creates a lovely ombre effect. Keep reading for the free pattern.

Crochet a Matching Hat and Cowl
This Cream/Black colorway paired with the moss (granite) stitch creates a woven appearance that is so beautiful. This hat matches my Cookies and Cream Cowl, which is a free, one skein pattern that was part of my 2017 Seven Days of Scarfie collection. The Cookies and Cream Hat takes about half of a skein of Scarfie yarn, so make two or save your leftovers!
