Crochet Hat Pattern - Spaced Spider Stitch

The spider stitch creates a beautiful texture on both sides of the fabric and looks great in solid colors or in stripes, as shown here. For my spaced spider stitch patterns, the stitch is worked with one chain in between the stitches to give you a more drapeable fabric.

This easy crochet hat pattern is the perfect match for this colorblock and striped scarf. Both are given in only one size, but can easily be customized for any size you need in the multiple provided.
