Home Alone Hat (crochet)

Somewhere in my memory . . .

Ever admired this iconic hat?

I’ve put in the work searching images and counting stitches so that now you can make one for yourself or the Kevin McCallister admirer in your life.

This hat is written for one size and is entirely dependent on this stitch count, however by going up or down a hook size, you can adjust the overall size.
