This pattern was inspired by the hat that Norah Jones wears at the end of the movie My Blueberry Nights. Maybe if you make it, you’ll get to kiss Jude Law too. Although it hasn’t happened to me yet.

1 skein Patons Classic Merino Wool in Jade Heather- this yarn matches the movie the best that I could tell. But you could substitute any worsted weight yarn you like.

Abbreviations:
Ch- Chain
Sc- Single Crochet
Dc- Double Crochet
Trc- Treble/Triple Crochet
St(s)- Stitch(es)

Ch 3, dc in joining, dc, * 2 dc in next st, dc in next st. Repeat from * around. Join (36 sts)
