Beth's Hat

This crochet hat is a direct result from a request from a lady who works in my office at the Ski resort I work at. She wanted a hat with a large puffy crown for tucking long hair in and it had to have a visor. This is what I came up with and she loves it! You can make this in just one color if you like.
