-Tapestry needle
-Stitch marker
Stitch abbreviations used in this pattern:
CH – Chain
SC - Single crochet
HDC – Half double crochet
SL ST – Slip stitch
ST – Stitch
Note: Hat is worked in the round and not by joining after each row.
To start, attach a slip knot to your hook.
CH-5, SL ST into first CH to make a ring.
Round 1: CH-2, 6 HDC into the ring, DO NOT JOIN,
{note: if you find that 6 HDC is too tight, you can use 12 HDC, it won’t make a difference to the pattern, it will just make your hat flat at the top instead of pointy}
INSERT STITCH MARKER HERE,
Round- 2:work 2 HDC into first HDC, now 2 HDC in each stitch around until you reach the stitch marker, (12 HDC) move stitch marker up,
Round 3: *1 HDC into next stitch, 2 HDC into the next stitch* Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC in same stitch (ALWAYS on an increase round). Move your stitch marker up.
Round 4: *1 HDC into next 2 stitches, 2 HDC into the next stitch* Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC Move your stitch marker up.
Round 5: *1 HDC into next 3 stitches, 2 HDC into the next stitch* Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC Move your stitch marker up
Round 6: *1 HDC into next 4 stitches, 2 HDC into the next stitch* Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC Move your stitch marker up
Round 7: *1 HDC into next 5 stitches, 2 HDC into the next stitch* Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC Move your stitch marker up
NOTE: You will continue to increase each row until you have the size desired for your hat. -DEPENDING ON HOW BIG YOU NEED YOUR HAT WILL DEPEND ON HOW MANY INCREASE ROWS YOU NEED. YOU WILL KEEP INCREASING UNTIL THE HAT CIRCUMFERENCE IS ½ INCH/2CM SMALLER THAN THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE HEAD YOU ARE MAKING IT FOR
If you are using worsted weight 4ply yarn you will need a different amount of rows. The following is for 8ply/DK yarn and a 4mm hook
Baby size would be around 8 rounds.
Example: *1 HDC into next 6 stitches, 2 HDC into the next stitch * Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC
For a regular adult hat with a 4mm hook it is around 10 rounds.
Example: Round 10: *1 HDC into next 9 stitches, 2 HDC into the next stitch* Repeat from * to * around until you reach your stitch marker. Ending with 2 HDC
Once your hat is big enough to fit the crown of your head or for the person you are making it for, you will stop with the increase rounds.
TO FINISH YOUR HAT
-Move stitch marker up,
1 HDC in each stitch around. Continue to move your stitch marker up with each round until your hat is the desired length.
In last stitch, SC and then SL ST across the next 2 stitches for a nice finish. Fasten off and sew in tail on inside of hat to hide.
Make sure to sew in tail from beginning of round 1.
