Materials Needed:
- Yarn (preferably a medium-weight yarn)
- 6.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Pattern Overview:
- This crochet hat features a delightful ruffle trim that gives it a unique and stylish look.
- The pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters and can be adjusted for different sizes.
Pattern Steps:
Start:
- Create a slip knot and chain 3, or start with a magic circle.
Round 1:
- Work 12 double crochets (DC) in the first chain from the hook or within the magic circle.
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 2. You should have 13 DCs.
Round 2:
- Chain 2 (counts as DC), then place 2 DCs in each stitch around. In the final stitch, place only 1 DC. Join with a slip stitch.
For Round 3:
- Chain 2 and turn. Place 2 DCs in the next stitch, then 1 DC in the following stitch. Repeat - around, ending with 2 DC in the last stitch.
Round 4 to Round 8:
- Continue increasing each round by placing more single DCs between each doubling until the hat reaches the desired circumference.
- Rounds 9 to 11 involve one DC in each stitch around the hat to form the body without increasing.
Ruffles Creation (Round 12 onwards):
- After achieving the desired length, start the ruffle rounds. Chain 2, turn your work, and place 3 DCs in every stitch around.
- This creates the ruffle effect. Repeat for as many rounds as desired.
Finishing:
Closing the Hat:
- Continue with SC decreases around the top if necessary to close the hat.
- Alternatively, close the top using a yarn needle and running a thread through the remaining stitches, pulling tight to close.
Final Ruffle Rounds:
- Add as many rounds of ruffles as desired for the brim. Each ruffle round amplifies the flair.
Secure & Weave in Ends:
- Once ruffles are complete, cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Use a yarn needle to weave in this tail and any other loose ends securely.
Optional Additions:
- Consider adding decorative elements like a pompom on top, appliqués, or a crochet flower to personalize the hat further.
