This Is My Hope for Cooler Days Hat

It’s Just A Yarn Thing

Materials:

Lion Brand ZZ Twist in Coral 246yds. I used approximately 162 yds.

Hook Size US I

Scissors

Stitch marker if desired

Large needle for weaving in the ends

PomPom

Gauge:  7 rows of sc = 2”

Abbreviations:

blo = back loop only

ch = Chain

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

Special Instructions:

Ch1 the beginning of the rows does not count as a stitch.

Pattern:

Band of the hat (after the beginning chain, each row will have 10 stitches)

Chain 11, sc in blo of the second chain from the hook, continue across, ch1, turn. Continue in this manner until the length of the band is 16” (I did 64 rows). If you need to adjust the size simply decrease or increase the number of rows. Once the desired length is reached, do not fasten off.

Ch1, turn

Body of hat:

Row1: sc in the next stitch, dc in the next. Continue this pattern across making sure to end this row with a dc.

Row2: ch 1, turn, dc in the next stitch, sc in the next. Continue this pattern across making sure to end this row with a sc.

Continue repeating row 1 and row 2 until the hat measures 8 1/2”. My hat had 20 rows but again, you can adjust this to fit your size. Just remember to alternate row 1 and row 2 until you reach your desired size.

Do not fasten off.

Measure about 20” of yarn from the last stitch and cut.

Fasten off.

Use the long tail to sew the sides of the hat together making sure to match up the rows and bottom band.

Weave in the ends.

Turn the hat to the wrong side. Using the same yarn from the main skein, sew a running stitch around the top of the hat. Pull ends together and tie off. Turn the hat back to the right side. Weave in the ends.

I chose to make a furry pompom for this but any pompom you use will look amazing.

These great friends were kind enough to test this hat. Check out their Facebook pages and give them some love!
