    Rustic Diamond Hat

    Published: Nov 19, 2020 · Modified: Jun 7, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · Leave a Comment

    The Rustic Diamond Hat is a simple and versatile crochet beanie pattern that features a simple repeating diamond cluster stitch design! Make it your new favorite hat with this cozy free pattern on Moogly!

    Quick and Cozy in Bulky Yarn

    Patons Alpaca Blend is a tactile roving style yarn with a gorgeous halo. You can see my video review of Alpaca Blend here! It's a bulky weight yarn, made of 60% Acrylic 22% Wool 10% Nylon 8% Alpaca, so this hat works up quickly.

    In this gorgeous Yam colorway, I find irresistible and so perfect for cooler weather! But there are lots of colors to choose from, so you can make it in your favorite shade.

    Customize it Just for You

    In addition to picking your color, you can customize the Rustic Diamond Hat with the amount of slouch! The stitch pattern repeats so you can add (or subtract) rows to get a perfect fit for you. Prefer it without the Diamond relief pattern? Just use hdc sts throughout! For a longer or shorter brim, just add or subtract chains from the first row of the brim.

    And then there's the Pom! Pick your favorite pom material, size, color, or skip it altogether. Add buttons, a leather tag, whatever makes you happy. For mask wearers, add a button to each side to hook your mask on while keeping your ears warm!
