Size:

     One Size

Adult – Woman (And suggestions for making this adorable hat for any size head.). So, you get many sizes all in one!)

Materials Needed:

• 1 skein Aran weight (#4); I used LionBrand “Vanna’s Choice” Yarn for the Cream Hat and Red Heart Super Saver for the Cranberry Hat.

(If you would like to do the ribbing in a different color than the body of the hat, that makes a lovely project, too.  Either way, the beanie will look great!)

• Faux Fur Pompon

• Crochet Hook, Size H/500 mm
• Crochet Hook,  Size I/5.50 mm
• 1 Stitch Marker
•  Small Yarn Needle  (Used for working in loose yarn ends and for attaching the pompon.)

Gauge: 

Using the H Hook, 4 single crochet in the back loop only rows = 2 rows of ribbing and is 1 1/4 inch wide

            (I crochet pretty loosely.  If you crochet tighter, you may want to adjust to a larger hook to get your desired size.)

Hat Pattern

Ribbing:

Using the H Hook, Chain 8. 

Row 1:  In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet.  Work a single crochet in each of the chains. Ch 1.  Turn.  (7 sc)

Row 2:  In the first sc, work a single crochet.  Work 1 single crochet in the back loop only (scblo) in the next stitch and in each stitch across until the last stitch.  Work 1 sc in the last stitch.  Ch 1.  Turn.  (7 st)

Row 3 – 58:  Repeat Row 2 until the length of your ribbing is 19 inches. This for me is 58 rows. 

****Sizing Alert:  (2 inches less than the circumference of an average adult woman’s head.)  If you would like to make the hat for another size, just measure the circumference of the adult, teen or child’s head and make the ribbing 2 inches less than that circumference number.  And then continue the pattern as written.

When you have completed the last row on the ribbing, seam the short ends of the ribbing, using a slip stitch.  Do NOT cut the yarn.  When you have completed the seam turn the ribbing so that the seam is on the inside.  

**If you would like to do the body of the hat in a different color, switch to that color here.

Body of the Hat

Switch to the I Hook.

Round 1 and Round 2:  Single crochet in the end of each row of ribbing all the way around.  Slip stitch to the first single crochet of the round.  Ch 1.  You should end up with 58 single crochet stitches for these rounds (for the adult woman size) and for all future rounds until you do your decreases.

After Round 2, turn.

Round 3:  Place a stitch marker.  Skip first stitch.  *Work 1 sl st in next stitch and 1 half double crochet  in the next stitch.*  Repeat from * to * all the way around.  Join to the top of the Ch 1 with a slip stitch.  Ch 1.  Turn.  Keep moving your stitch marker up each time your end a round. (58 st)

Round 4:  Skip the first stitch.  Single crochet in the next stitch and in each stitch in the round.  Join to the top of the Ch 1 with a slip stitch.  Ch 1.  Turn.  (58 st)

Repeat Round 3 and 4 until the measurement of the hat, from the bottom of the ribbing to the top of the body of the hat is 8.5 inches.  ( If you would like to make your hat a little “slouchier”, you can add more length.  1/2 to 1 inch would be nice.). 

(If you are making this hat in a different size, please refer to this Chart.)

Finishing and Closing the Top of the Hat:

End the body of your hat at the stitch marker.

Round 1:  Single crochet in the first two stitches.  Skip one stitch.  Single crochet in the next two stitches.  Skip one stitch.  Single crochet in the next two stitches.  Repeat this sequence to the end of the round.  Join with a slip stitch to the top of the Ch 1.  Ch 1.   

Round 2:  Single crochet in the first stitch.  Skip 1 stitch. *Single crochet in the next stitch.  Skip 1 stitch.*. Repeat from * to * until you have 7 stitches left.  Finish off, leaving about 8 inches of yarn. 

Using the yarn needle, gather the top of the hat by doing a “running stitch” back and forth through each of the single crochets in the last (top) row of the hat.  Pull gently, until the opening at the top of the hat closes.  Pull it snug but not super tight.  Knot your yarn and work in the ends at the top and at the bottom of your hat.

Pompon 

Attach the pompon to the top of the hat using the the “Button” Method.  (Refer to my video tutorial above on this.)  Click on the photo/video above to see the video tutorial!) 

That’s it!!  Enjoy your lovely new hat!!
