Techniques Used

Abbreviations:

• ch: Chain
• dc: Double Crochet
• sc: Single Crochet
• sl st: Slip Stitch
• fpdc: Front Post Double Crochet
• bpdc: Back Post Double Crochet
• V-stitch: (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the same stitch
• Shell Stitch: Multiple dc into one space

Notes:

1. The pattern is worked in multiples of 6 + 2 chains.
2. Gauge is important for sizing; check your finished chain length against measurements provided.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

1. Using the dark yarn, create a slipknot and chain:
   • 96 chains for 8 years+ using a 3.5 mm hook (20.5 inches / 52 cm).
   • 98 chains (96 + 2) to meet the multiple of 6 + 2.
   • For 6 years+, chain 90 + 2 (92 total).
2. If making the adult size, use the same chain count (98) but a 4 mm hook for a slightly larger fit.
3. Ensure the chain is not twisted. Join the first chain and last chain using a slip stitch to form a ring.
   Save

Step 2: Row 1 (Double Crochet Base Row)

1. Turn the chain to work into the back loops for a cleaner, neater edge.
2. Skip the first 3 chains; in the 4th chain:
   • Work 1 dc.
3. Continue working 1 dc in each chain, ensuring you work into the back loops only.
4. At the end, join the first and last dc with a sl st at the top of the starting chain.
5. Stitch count should be 96 (or the number of chains you started with).

Step 3: Rows 2–4 (Ribbing)

Save

To create a ribbed pattern for the hat band:

1. Begin by chaining 3 (counts as the first dc).
2. Work the round using fpdc (Front Post Double Crochet) and bpdc (Back Post Double Crochet):
   • Start the first st in front post of the previous row’s dc.
   • Move to the next st and work back post double crochet.
   • Repeat the sequence: 1 fpdc, 1 bpdc around.
3. Join with a sl st to the top of the starting chain.
   Save

Repeat this process for Rows 3 and Row 4, maintaining the alternating fpdc and bpdc for a textured ribbing.

Step 4: Row 5 Onward (Pattern Repeats)

Round 1 (Shell Stitch Base Row):

1. Join the light yarn. Do not cut the dark yarn; it will be carried along the back of the work.
2. Start with a ch 1. In the third stitch after your starting chain:
   • Work 7 dc into the same space (this creates the first shell).
3. Skip the next 2 stitches, then in the following stitch:
   • Sc to anchor the shell.
4. Skip another 2 stitches, then work another shell (7 dc) in the next stitch.
5. Repeat this pattern: Shell, skip 2, sc, skip 2 around the entire row.
6. At the end of the round, you will have 16 shells. Join with a sl st.

Round 2 (V-Stitch with Chain Loops):

1. Pull the dark yarn up and ch 4.
   • This counts as your first V-stitch.
2. Into the previous round’s sc, work a V-stitch (dc, ch 1, dc).
3. Chain 5, skip the shell, and go to the next sc to work a V-stitch (dc, ch 1, dc).
4. Repeat this process: ch 5, V-stitch in sc all the way around, ending with a sl st.

Round 3 (Shell Stitch in V-Stitch Spaces):

1. Pull up the light yarn and ch 3 (counts as the first dc).
2. In each V-stitch space, work 7 dc to create a shell.
3. At the end of the round, join with a sl st.

Repeats:

• Continue alternating Round 2 (V-stitch) and Round 3 (Shell Stitch) until the length of the hat reaches 15 rounds total.
  • 6 Years Plus: 13 rounds.
  • 8 Years Plus (or Adult Size): 15 rounds.

Step 5: Decreasing Rounds (Top Shaping)

1. Round 16 (Decrease V-Stitch and Chain Loops):
   • Replace the ch-5 spaces with ch-4, and into the sc, make a V-stitch (dc, ch 1, dc).
2. Round 17 (Shell Decrease):
   • Pull up the light yarn. Work 5 dc in each V-stitch instead of 7.
   • Anchor the shell using the 4th dc of the previous shell as usual.
3. Round 18 (Decrease V-Stitch and Chain Loops):
   • Work V-stitches separated by ch 2 spaces.
     Save
4. Round 19:
   • Replace shell stitches with smaller ones of 3 dc per V-stitch.
   • Anchor using the middle dc of the previous shell.
5. Round 20:
   • Work a round of combined 3 dc together (dc3tog) for each shell. This closes up the top of the hat.
6. Round 21:
   • Work 1 sc in each stitch around.
   • For 6 years +, you should have 15 sc.
   • For other sizes, adjust stitch count as required.
7. Round 22:
   • Complete the final round using sc2tog to close the opening tightly.

Step 6: Finishing

1. Close the Top Hole:
   • Use a tapestry needle to sew through the top stitches of Round 22.
   • Pull tight and secure with a knot.
2. Add a Pom-Pom (Optional):
   • Use a 7 cm Pom-Pom Maker or create your own.
   • Attach a pom-pom securely to the top of the hat.
3. Weave in Loose Ends:
   • Use the tapestry needle to hide and secure all threads.

Final Words

Congratulations! Your crochet hat is complete! Pair it with the matching poncho for a cozy, stylish set. This two-round repeat pattern is versatile and easy for beginners, and you can customize the size by adjusting the number of chains and rounds.

Tips for Success:

1. Use stitch markers to help keep track of rounds.
2. Carry unused yarn colors neatly along the back to maintain clean edges.
3. Steam block or wet block your finished hat for the best shape and texture.
