Crochet Hat Patterns

9/4/2014

Last week 'Lynn' asked if I had instructions for making my little crochet hats, and I responded that I didn't, because I don't know how to write proper crochet instructions. I've made lots of the hats to go with many of my summer outfits, and did make notes on what I was doing, but no one else would ever understand them. Then Donna Leggee, who actually owns two outfits with one of my crocheted hats, offered to write up the instructions into a proper pattern. Yesterday she sent me the instructions (which looked ever so professional), so this morning I'm happy to announce we have a pattern! Just click on either of the two photos below to go to the instruction page.....

The hats are made mainly using size 10 crochet thread, but I also used Michaels craft crochet thread (in the embroidery thread department) which comes in multi-packages with 3 skeins each of 12 different colours. I purchased the bright colours, and the pastels (using my weekly coupons, of course). With such a wide selection of colours it was possible to make hats to colour-coordinate with any outfit. I especially like the ones made with a third colour brim.

With many thanks to Donna, now everyone can make their own cute little hats!!

Thank you so much. I kept looking at the hats you made and wondering how they were done.

Is it possible to ask a question? End 2 when the pattern says (doc in next sp, ch 1) 2 times, does it mean to do it once each in two successive spaces, or twice in the next space? I think we are increasing, but there is no count at the end of the row to tell me if I have it right. Sorry. I'm sure this is a real newbie question.

Sorry, that was round 2 not end 2. Darn auto correct!

Yes, you are increasing. Here's the instructions - Rnd 2: Ch 4, dc in next dc, ch 1 *(dc in next sp, ch 1) 2 times, (dc in next dc, ch 1) 2 times. Repeat from * twice, (dc in next sp, ch 1) 2 times. Join in 3rd ch of ch 4.

It means to dc into top of the dc in the row below, then dc (with a ch1) in two consecutive spaces of the row below, then dc (with a ch1) into the top of the next two dc from the row below.

The next couple of rounds (2 to 5) are similar, except each time there is one more dc (with ch1) into the row below. In each round you are increasing by four 'spaces'

Just found your little hat tutorial and as a beginner at crochet, can I ask you to explain the ch1, single crochet into same stitch. I am not quite sure what to do there, thank you

I'm sorry, but I can't really help you. I just crochet the hats out of my head, and a friend translated what she saw into the instructions. So, to be honest I'm not sure what it means either.
