Crochet Blue Bonnet Pattern
Materials Needed:
- 3 rolls of yarn, approx. 50g each (blue color suggested)
- Crochet hook 4.5mm
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
Pattern Steps:
Crown (Top of the Hat)
- Foundation Chain: Chain 22 stitches.
- Row 1: Chain 1, skip the first stitch, then sc in each stitch across (total 22 stitches).
- Rows 2 to 8: Chain 1, turn. Work sc in the back loop only for every stitch across. Keep the stitch count constant at 22. Repeat this for rows 2 through 8.
- When row 8 is completed, the crown—topmost part of the bonnet—is ready.
Body of the Hat
- Identify the four edges of the crown.
- First Edge: Chain 2, turn. Work dc in each stitch along the first edge. Complete the edge (total 52 stitches when all edges are joined).
- Second and Third Edges: Repeat dc in each stitch for the second and third edges similarly.
- Row 2: Chain 2, turn. Work dc in each back loop stitch across (52 stitches).
- Row 3: Chain 2, turn. Repeat working dc in back loops across.
- Alternate between row 2 and row 3 techniques until row 15 is completed. This forms the fuller body of the bonnet.
- After finishing row 15, chain 1 and cut yarn.
Bottom Border of the Hat
- Join yarn around the body’s bottom edge.
- Chain 8, then chain 1, skip the first stitch, and sc in each stitch across.
- Slip stitch into the second stitch of the hat’s body edge.
- Row 2: Chain 1, turn. Work sc in the back loops across.
- Row 3: Repeat row 2.
- Row 4: Skip third stitch, slip stitch in fourth stitch, then alternate rows 2 and 3 pattern.
- Continue until you reach the last stitch, chain 1, and cut yarn.
Front Border of the Hat
- Attach yarn at the left side of the bottom border.
- Chain 5, chain 1, skip first stitch, and sc in each stitch across.
- Slip stitch in the second stitch of the bottom border and turn.
- Repeat sc in back loops for rows 2 and 3, alternating certain slip stitch placements just like in the bottom border until complete.
- Chain 1 and cut yarn.
Creating Two Ties (Ropes)
- At the left side border, join yarn and chain 70 for the first rope.
