Free written pattern by Spencer, @sourrsk_
I'm Spencer, a young crocheter with about 3 years of experience. I make and upload free patterns on Ribblr but this is my first pattern I have released on a site and on YouTube (@crochetingwithsourrsk). I have a TikTok and Instagram: @sourrsk_, where you can message me for commissions. Please do not redistribute my pattern(s) in any way, but feel free to make and sell the hat itself. All credit is appreciated! Free free to message me with any questions via Instagram and tag me in your finished product posts.
