Koko Tapestry Crochet Leopard Animal Print Crochet Hat Pattern by Kristin Omdahl

This bold, graphic print is easy to make with tapestry crochet. Due to the nature of carrying all the colors across each round, this hat is not only stylish but extra cozy and warm, too!

The sample shown is in a nature-inspired color palette, but don’t feel limited! Designed in Be So Baby yarn with a palette of 60 colors, you can make an animal print in any colors of the rainbow.
