Free Crochet Pattern : Aubreigh Hat

I'm excited to bring you a new design! I've kinda fallen in love this fall with Pantone's Color of the year Marsala. I really wanted to design a hat using a similar shade. It was actually kind hard to find just the perfect wine color but Hobby Lobby's - I Love This Yarn comes to the rescue as usual for me. It's my favorite worsted weight yarn to work with. The have a gorgeous shade called Aubergine. I didn't even know how to pronounce it, let alone what that even meant. I had to look it up. It's actually an eggplant, which to me is more purple than a wine color. The shade of the yarn isn't really purple to me, it leans to more of a wine burgundy shade. Either way I love it! 


I did share a little video blog about the pattern. It's something new I'd like to start up but we'll see if i continue. Feel free to watch it below to see the hat in action on me :)
I think it's going to be my fall favorite. 


Now on to the crochet pattern! 
Enjoy!
