Wavy Shelled Hat

"This hat has an interesting shell pattern. This is because every other row is worked in back loops to give this hat an interesting texture. This hat can be done in one color, but changing the color every other row brings out also makes it interesting. This hat has one row of shell patterned and another row of single crochet done in back loops. This hat has the option of having a brim or no brim. Both are equally cute."
