Surfer Chic Hat

I think this surfer chic pattern (found in Chicks with Sticks crochet pattern book) makes perfect summery hats and I couldn't resist making one in this hand dyed blue alpaca yarn. All the colors of a vacation get away at the beach (at least in my dreams!) come to mind with the blues that were used in coloring it. I thought it was an extra bonus with how it striped itself down in the spirals from the top!

Love the yarn and the pattern. I'm making two similar styles for my daughter and her friend who's moving.
