Mommy and Me Crochet Hats

I used chunky wool “Viking Naturgarn” for strikking- toving. 100% wool purchased at “Once Upon A Sheep” in Maple Ridge, BC. Not only does this store have great prices, but the profits go towards the local Salvation Army shelter. I also used a large grey plastic crochet hook. The hook is not marked but I believe it’s a size 10. I got it at Michaels and it’s great for hats with the “Chunky” look. I've made up my own pattern many times, but I've never written a patter. So, here goes!
