DIY: The Crochet Bowler Hat. (Free Pattern!)

Hello there! This particular diy was entirely inspired by bowler hats I have been scoping out lately. During the Autumn season, I am a huge, huge hat fan, I have not stopped wearing them since the first day of Fall and that will continue on! After hitting up stores like Target and Forever 21, I was entirely inspired to create my own version of the hat for myself and for whoever would love to make one for themselves!
