This may be the wildest of my hats yet! A Rainbow Trout literally jumping out of water complete with oversized fishing hooks and fly lures! NOT a single detail is spared!

Are you up for the challenge to crochet the fisherperson in your life the stop you in your tracks hat yet? Let me tell you the details!

  • mostly made double strand true worsted weight yarn with I hook
  • some details single strand using E hook
  • 20” of craft wire are used in the hooks for extra structure
  • You will need some puffy paint, flat back rhinestones, or the like to create the black spots on the fish
  • the hat fit is not tight, it is a pull on helmet style with room so it will fit most everyone. My young son wore it as well with no issue.

It is rated advanced intermediate as you must be certain each count and line is followed exactly using stitch markers and proper placement. You must also follow the sewing placement for best look.

This pattern is fully tested for accuracy by my amazing testers, so it will be enjoyable and error free as you make it.

The pattern is in English language only, uses standard US crochet terms, is a written pattern, is not a step by step photo tutorial however there are 42 images in the pattern so nothing is left to guessing. It is 29 pages long and uses a standard calibri font in size 11 without any background designs on each page. There is not any videos for the pattern, though I am happy to help you get on track with specific questions!
