Seven Squares Earflap Hat

The chunky crochet and smooth woven squares of this felted hat bring out the best in both crafts. A jaunty pom-pom and clever braided chinstrap complete the look for a warm and wearable topper.

This hat was inspired by my general love of earflap hats and my constant desire to see what the Zoom Loom can do. Combining weaving with crochet is one of my favorite ways to mix fiber arts. Crochet tends to have a more solid and chunky texture, while weaving is more smooth and lightweight. Using them together creates a breathable wool hat with a ton of texture.
