Crochet Apple Jack Hat
I might be the only one in the world that didn’t know this hat was called an Apple Jack hat. This hat was a request from one of my followers. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a clue what she was talking about. So of course I ran off to Google. Once I saw it, I knew I was going to make the crochet apple jack hat. It was just too funky to resist.
Don’t judge me for not know. I have a daughter in college, so I’m definitely old enough to remember this style of hat. Once I laid my eyes on it, I instantly remembered!
