Zaria Hat
Crochet Pattern
A statement in sun-ready style - with texture, movement, and a touch of play.
The Zaria Hat is a playful and stylish summer accessory, made with variegated raffia yarn that naturally creates a one-of-a-kind design pattern. Finished with a bold fringe trim along the brim, this hat brings just the right mix of structure and flow - perfect for beach days, sunny city strolls, or festival moments.
Designed for comfort and versatility, the pattern includes child and adult sizes with customizable dimensions for the perfect fit. Add the fringe for an extra pop of personality - or keep it simple and sleek.

What is a Pattern Tester?
As a pattern tester, you play a vital role in refining my crochet designs. While I work hard to create these patterns, your feedback ensures they are accurate, error-free, and fit as intended.
My Expectations as a Designer
I ask that you read each pattern carefully before beginning, making sure you fully understand the instructions. If anything seems unclear or incorrect, please reach out, I rely on your honest feedback! I welcome your genuine input, even if it’s tough (I can take it!). Communication is essential: if you run into any issues, whether with the pattern, timing, or life in general, please just let me know.
Requirements for Pattern Testers
• Provide your own materials
• Follow the pattern instructions closely, except where noted otherwise
• Take well-lit, visually appealing photos and videos of your work
• Help promote the pattern on its release day
• Complete the project within the agreed timeframe (let me know if you can’t meet the deadline)
• Maintain an open Instagram account
Benefits of Becoming a Pattern Tester
As a tester, you’ll get exclusive, early access to my new designs. You’ll join a community of fellow crochet enthusiasts, sharing experiences and learning from each other. Upon release, I’ll credit your work on all my social platforms, putting it in front of thousands of crochet lovers. When the pattern is finalized, you’ll receive a free copy of the final draft as a thank-you. Plus, after completing three tests, you can choose one of my designs for free, and you’ll enjoy a 20% discount on any patterns you’d like to purchase. And last but not least you will get an opportunity to get fully or partly sponsored if using the same yarn that’s I used in a project.
What to Expect as a Tester
If selected, you’ll receive an email confirming your participation, along with the first part of the pattern and instructions for creating a gauge swatch. We’ll stay connected in an Instagram group chat, where you can share updates and photos. Once your swatch is complete (within seven days), you’ll receive the next part of the pattern. Continue to send progress photos at each stage.
When your piece is finished, you’ll submit a feedback form and provide well-lit photos, flat lays, and a short video showcasing the finished design. These images are essential to show how the design looks on different body types, so an open Instagram account is required.
Once you’ve completed all steps, you’ll receive the finalized pattern and begin earning rewards for future free patterns. Ready to join our creative community? Apply now, and let’s create something beautiful together!
