The Crochet Puffed Granny Square Spiral Beanie & Cap - PDF Pattern

You never thought squares could be this curvy (and cute!)

This pattern is the ultimate geometric deep-dive that turns simple squares into a perfect, modern, custom-fit beanie or cap. This pattern solves the age-old problem of the same old, boxy granny square hats. It ensures you not only finish a stunning hat but also become a more knowledgeable crochet artist by building your understanding of design and construction in the process.
