The Vintage Houndstooth Hat is a two-color beanie worked from the top down, using joined rounds and simple stitches to form its classic look. The check pattern comes from changing colors every round, working tall stitches into short stitches and short stitches into tall stitches.
This is one of those rare crochet hats that actually looks good on any gender — which is perfect if you like making matching hats for the whole family. The optional pom adds extra personality, but feel free to skip it if you prefer a cleaner look.
