Shell Hat Crochet Pattern

Let me show you how to crochet this simple shell hat. 3 sizes are included, infant, toddler and child’s. Add a pull tie hair bow  to the side, or a fat fabric hair bow, that matches the fabric of this adorable skirt.

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

Gracie's shell hat is perfect for winter and spring. Such a fast and easy crochet design!
Gracie’s shell hat is easy and fun. Follow the links to the youtube videos that will show you how to make the skirt and hair bows.
