Crochet Hat Pattern Tutorial

This is the last altered boot cuff pattern.
I wanted to get this posted incase you are making the entire set to give as holiday gifts.
If you purchase the main color of yarn (Aran in the tutorials) in the large 14oz skeins, then just 1 skein will make all 4 projects. You just need 1  (6oz) skein of the trim color (Passion in the tutorials) to make all 4 projects.

Materials:

I used the same Aran and Passion yarns.
Size J/10 (6.00mm) crochet hook.
Yarn needle.

 Gauge is the same as the boot cuff pattern


DC = Double Crochet
SC = Single Crochet
SS = Slip Stitch
CH = Chain  
The CH 3 at the beginning of each row is considered a DC in this pattern

Feel free to sell your finished items.

Hat pattern:

Using the Aran yarn - CH 30

Row 1 - DC in 3rd CH from hook and in each CH across (29 DC). CH 3, turn.

Rows 2 - 26 - DC in next DC, working in the Back Loop Only, DC in the next 25 DC, working through both loops, DC in last 2 DC (29 DC). CH 3, turn.

Row 27 (this is the right side) - DC in next DC, working in the Back Loop Only, DC in the next 25 DC, working through both loops, DC in last 2 DC (29 DC). 

Fasten off. Leave a 16" long tail.

Hat trim:

Row 1 - With right side facing, attach Passion yarn with a SC (directions in the neck warmer pattern) to the first DC of the long side. SC in the same DC as joining. Work 2 SC in each DC across (54 SC). CH 1, turn.

Rows 2 & 3 - SC in each SC across, CH 1, turn. (54 SC)

Row 4 - Work a reverse SC (aka Crab Stitch) in each SC across (54 reverse SC).

Fasten off leaving a 6" tail.

Rose:

With the size J hook and Passion yarn, CH 29 and follow the rose pattern in the boot cuff tutorial.

Finishing:

Thread the Aran tail onto the yarn needle. With wrong sides facing, sew the hat edges together through the back loops to maintain the ridged pattern. Knot the yarn securely at the top but do not fasten off. Now working around the top, weave the yarn needle in and out of the DC's all the way around.

 Pull the yarn very tight to close the top of the hat. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Thread the Passion tail onto the yarn needle and sew the trim edges together. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Turn hat right side out, fold brim up, tie on the rose.

There you have it! One very simple, very quick basic pattern altered slightly to make boot cuffs, neck warmers, wrist warmers and a hat.

My intention for this pattern series is to encourage novice crochet artists to look at patterns in a different way. To see the full potential of a pattern.
