    i was wondering if anyone either has a pattern that they can share or if they know any links for crocheted dread tams, preferably with a peak. i had a really awsome newsboy cap that i used to wear all the time but now that i've dreaded my hair, my head is too big for it! lol. any replies are greatly appreciated.

    I know that somebody posted a link to a site a little while back, but I'm not sure where it is.....

    Really, it's not that hard to make one on your own. As long as you have a basic knowledge of crocheting and increasing and de-creasing sitches, you can whip one right up.
    I designed this one as I went and it took me about half a day:

    I was surfing looking for ideas, and I came across this pattern for a "mushroom hat" which, in itself, looks pretty funky, or would if it was done in a different colour. But, I thought it would make a great dread tam if you just left off the brim and made the band a bit tighter. Link for pattern as follows:
