CROCHET LIGHTNING MCQUEEN HAT
Free pattern © Mari-Liis Lille
Crochet Lightning McQueen Hat for kids who still remember the cartoon!
You will get a soft and comfy hat when using a yarn made of mixtures of cotton. In addition to that you need to crochet 7 applications.
The hat made according to this pattern fits the head approx 49-51 cm (19.3-20.1 in). You will get a smaller or larger hat when increasing or decreasing the number of stitches. You may add more depth when needed with adding some more rows to the hat.

- yarn for the hat: I used aran (10 ply) weight Red Heart Eco-Cotton Blend (100 g / 156 m) – red (approx 2/3 skein), a little bit of white and blue
