Introduction
The hat pattern starts with flat rows at the top and transitions into bent stitches as it moves toward the bottom. The stitches used include half crochets, single crochets, treble crochets, and increased stitches to achieve the desired shape. Each section involves working progressively, repeating specific steps, and introducing increases at certain points.
Materials Needed
- Yarn: Mac Cotton Club Aliza Cotton (adjustable based on preference)
- Crochet Hook (select matched hook size for yarn)
- Scissors
- Needle
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Begin the Foundation
- Create the Starting Knot:
- Take your yarn and create a simple knot.
- Insert the hook into the knot and make 2 chains.
- First Row (Foundation Circle):
- Crochet 16 half crochets inside the circle.
- Close the first row with a slip stitch.
- Second to Eleventh Rows (Flat Section):
- Make 2 chains and turn your work. Crochet half crochets all around for these rows.
- Regularly observe the flatness of the top. If it starts to bend, make increases:
- Example: Work 1 half crochet in each stitch but add an increase (2 half crochets in one stitch) at bending points.
Repeat this method until completing 11 rows, ensuring the top remains flat.
2. Transition to Single Crochet (Start of Bending)
- Twelfth Row:
- Switch to single crochet stitches, working all around. Alternate directions (front to back).
- This stitch helps the hat begin bending faster for the sides to drop.
- Thirteenth Row:
- Repeat the single crochet stitches all around.
- No increases are needed at this point.
3. Introducing Treble Crochet
- Fourteenth Row:
- Start with 5 chains.
- Yarn over three times on the hook.
- Skip one stitch and work into the next stitch with a treble crochet, then make one chain.
- Repeat this process all around the row to create holes (decorative accents).
- Alternate Rows with Treble and Single Crochets:
- Next row: Crochet single stitches all around (no increases).
- Follow with another row of treble crochets, skipping one stitch as before.
- Continue alternating single stitches (2 rows) and treble crochets (1 row).
4. Expanding the Hat (Increases)
- After initial sections without increases, begin adding increases for a slightly wider brim:
- Row: Crochet 10 single stitches, then increase (2 stitches in one hole). Repeat this pattern all around.
- Next Row: Crochet 7 single stitches, then increase one.
5. Final Rows and Bending Continuation
- Alternate between treble crochets and single crochets (2 rows).
- Gradually increase stitches in single crochet rows to ensure proper opening:
- Example: Crochet 20 single stitches, then increase one stitch.
6. Completing the Hat
- Final Rows:
- Add final rows alternating treble and single crochets. The last two rows should be single crochets, with increases (e.g., 7 single stitches + one increase).
- Cut the yarn and use a needle to sew the loose ends neatly into the hat.
- Adjust the hat shape gently by hand.
Conclusion
The hat combines both functional and decorative techniques to provide warmth and style for everyday use. The alternation of single and treble stitches helps create a beautiful design with small, evenly spaced holes along the sides. During increases, the pattern becomes slightly wider to ensure comfort.
