Crochet Chunky Hat Tutorial
Materials Needed:
- 6 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- Stitch marker
- Pom pom (optional, you can buy or make one)
- Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky (1 and a half skein) or any chunky yarn
Hat Size:
- Adult Size
Pattern:
Starting the Hat:
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 48. (Adjust the number of chains based on the size of the head; it should match the length of a beanie that fits comfortably.)
First Row:
- Start in the second stitch from the hook, and work 12 single crochets for the brim.
- Mark the end of the brim with a marker.
- Then work 25 double crochets.
- Add 5 half double crochets.
- Finish with 5 single crochets + 1 turning chain.
- You should have a total of 47 stitches in the first row.
Second Row (Pattern Repeat Starts):
- Chain 1, turn your work around.
- Insert hook into the very first stitch, and work a single crochet, then a slip stitch in the next, by pulling up a loop in the same stitch again, and another loop in the next stitch, then slip stitch.
- Continue this pattern up to the marked stitch (this forms a texture with what looks like chains next to each other).
- Work in back loops only when reaching the brim, 12 single crochets.
Third Row (Pattern Repeat Continues):
- Chain 1, turn your work around.
- Work the brim first, with 12 single crochets in the back loops only.
- Continue with 25 double crochets, in the back loops only.
- Add 5 half double crochets in the back loops only.
- Finish with 5 single crochets in the back loops only.
Fourth Row (Pattern Repeat Continues):
- Chain 1, turn your work around, and start the slip stitch pattern through both loops until you reach the brim marker.
- Work the brim with 12 single crochets in the back loops only.
Continue the Pattern:
- Repeat the third and fourth rows (the two-row pattern repeat) until the hat reaches the desired length.
Finishing the Hat:
- Fold the hat in half and slip stitch both sides together up to the brim.
- For the brim, slip stitch through the front loops only to maintain the pattern.
- Chain one and fasten off.
Closing the Top:
- Thread yarn through darning needle, and weave through the top row of slip stitches.
- Pull tight to close the top of the hat, and secure with a knot.
- Sew any small opening that remains at the top.
Finishing Touches:
- Attach a pom pom to the top of the hat if desired.
- Weave in all yarn ends.
