 Ohio State Hat 

This weekend we are heading to Columbus, Ohio for my hubby’s uncle’s 80th surprise birthday party. He is a huge Ohio State fan.  So, I thought I’d make him a Hat.

For this project, I used RHSS yarn in Red, Black, White and Grey Heather and a 5.0 mm hook.

Teen - Average Adult-Sized Head:
Follow pattern as above, except on Round 7 you would do the following:

8-19 Work as above Rounds, except your total stitches will only be 60, and not 63.  

Attach Pom to center top.  A pom is optional.  I wanted to add a Red pom, but I only had white on hand to use.  If you don't have a faux fur pom, you can make a crochet pom in one color or all 4 colors used in this hat.  

To make a yarn pom, wrap yarn(s) around your hand 40-50 times.  Cut off.  Tie securely in the center and then attach to the top of the hat.   




 Happy Crocheting...
