"This free beanie pattern uses double crochet and hairpin lace to create a braided accent strip that looks like the hat was zipped closed. Not a project for beginners, advanced or intermediate crochet skill level recommended. Project uses Caron Simply Soft yarn, Size I (5.5mm) Crochet Hook, and a Hairpin Lace Loom. Detailed photo tutorial included with pattern. Great project for fall or winter accessories, and would coordinate well with a hairpin lace scarf or cowl. "

Braided Crochet Hat Pattern + Video
"In this tutorial, I'll be teaching you the braid stitch. You have the option of using one or two colors. Warning, if are using two colors, your secondary color may show through, I personally like that. The materials that will be using today are a 5 mm crochet hook and Caron Simply Soft which is a worsted weight yarn one in the color Iceland blue and bone. I chose Caron Simply Soft because it works perfectly with this stitch. All #4 worsted weight yarns are not the same. The stitches lay flatter with a light worsted weight yarn. With heavier #4 worsted weight yarn such as red heart Super Saver, the stitches came out bulkier. The choice is yours. Material #4 Worsted Weight Yarn - Caron Simply Soft -1 or 2 colors (I used blue and tan) 5 mm Hook Embroidery Needle for Sewing"
Crochet Braided Headband
"Create this pretty crochet braided headband with h hook and this can be adjusted for any size. I uploaded a video if you need more help. I love how this nice pattern turned out with the Caron soft yarn. This beautiful headband is great to wear during the cold months and makes for wonderful Christmas gifts. I love how it looks like a braid when it's all finished. I think it would look neat with different colors of yarn too. "
