Here are some directions to make a quick and easy
crochet hat, thanks to Klutz! I find that the Klutz crochet and knitting books
are hard to come by, but they are so helpful in teaching you a basis. This hat
is so easy that I made on my way to the airport before my trip to Vietnam! And
then realized I was doing something wrong and had to take it out and start
over. Nonetheless, it still worked and my friend had a semi-weird shaped hat by
the time we said goodbye. When I have used this pattern other times, it has
come out perfect and looks great. Adorn it with some embellishments or flowers
and you have yourself a super cute, stylish hat!
Hat:
- Start by making a chain of 4 stitches. Join the ends by making a slip stitch in the first stitch
- Chain 3
- Make 9 double crochets right into the center of the ring while weaving the end of the yarn into the ring (so you won’t have to sew it in later).
- Use a stitch marker to mark the stitch that is currently on your hook (9th dc)
- Make 2 double crochets right into the space between the first string of chains and the first double crochet
- Now make 2 double crochets in the next stitch and every stitch around. Stop when you get to the stitch marker
- Move your marker to the loop on your hook and then repeat these stitches all the way around: *1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the following stitch** There should be 30 stitches
- Move marker to the loop on the hook and start the 4th round. Follow this pattern: *1 dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch** There should be 40 stitches total
- Move marker to the loop on your hook and start the 5th round: *1 dc in next 3 stitches, 2 dc in following stitch** Total of 50 stitches
- Move marker to the loop on your hook and start the last round (last round of increases, yippee!): *1 dc in next 4 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch** Total of 60 stitches
- Move your marker down a row so it is out of the way bit still marks the end of a round. DC in every stitch around now until you get to the right length. You can stop a ½ inch before and end the hat with a girly scallop edging.
Scalloped Edge:
- If you want the trim to be a different color, then add the new yarn now. Make a SC in the next stitch
- Skip a stitch then make 5 dc in the next one
- Repeat this sequence all the way around: *skip a stitch, make a sc in the next one, skip a stitch, make 5 dc in the next one**
- When you get to the beginning again, skip a stitch and make a slip stitch in the next one.
- Cut yarn and weave into hat
