Scroll down for the Camila Granny Square Hat pattern. Throughout the Third Edition of Granny Square Month, I’ve been sharing crochet hat patterns. First, I shared the Luisa Top-Down Granny Stitch Hat in 3 sizes and then I shared the Julietta Bottom-Up Granny Stitch Hat in 10 sizes. Today’s pattern for the Camila Granny Square Hat is the last in the series.
My version has a bit of slouch to it, but you could shorten the Work Even section if you’d prefer a more “beanie-esque” fit.
