About this Product
This instant digital download pattern contains easy-to-follow instructions to crochet the Switcheroo hat, a unisex design for people who love pared-down, no-frills beanies.
Two colors of yarn trade places in wide and narrow stripes in this beanie hat, which also has a slouchy option. The counterchange striping pattern uses combinations of basic crochet stitches.
The pattern offers four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large with head circumferences of 21, 22, 23, 24 in./53, 56, 58, 61 cm.
YARN:
The beanie uses worsted weight (#4 Medium) yarn and a crochet gauge of 14 dc = 4 in./10 cm.
WHAT YOU GET:
A 6-page PDF pattern that also provides links to my website -- www.hatsbyelvee.com -- for technique tutorials and stitch definitions for new crocheters. Included is a one-page photo tutorial on how to make color changes when joining rounds. The written instructions use American crochet terms.

Meet the Maker
The Chunky Guy Beanie, pictured here, is my best-selling pattern, with hundreds sold to makers from around the world. The pattern exemplifies what I love most about crochet and knitting: An easy pattern can produce a classic look as well as an enjoyable crafting experience.
Almost all of my patterns use simple, basic stitches. I occasionally venture into intermediate territory -- but only if the end result is worth the extra effort.
One of my favorite activities is to round up a few balls of yarn and experiment with stitches and shapes and color combinations. It's an adventure to find out what kind of hat the yarn wants to be. A sassy, lacy Juliet cap for summer? A rugged, ribbed topper for frigid days? A snazzy fedora that evokes vintage glamour?
I really enjoy doing my small part in bringing warmth and beauty into the world, one hat at a time. My wish is that you enjoy making/wearing/gifting hats from my patterns as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Happy crocheting/knitting!
