The Dragon Scale Hat is a cozy, textured beanie worked in the round using the crocodile stitch—a stitch that adds layered dimension and warmth. It’s a great project for crocheters looking to try something a bit more adventurous without getting overwhelmed.
This pattern is written for a 22" head circumference using DK-weight yarn, and includes helpful notes for adjusting to different sizes and yarn weights. Whether you're making it for yourself or someone else, it's a satisfying project that’s as fun to wear as it is to stitch.
