Long Division Hat Crochet Pattern

Part bonnet and part beanie, this quirky-cute crochet hat features chubby yarn, three oversize pom-poms, and a split in the center of sturdy crochet ribbing, which keeps your ears warm without the scrunched-up look of a beanie. An extended single crochet stitch pattern gives nice drape on the back of the hat.
