Team Colors Hat


Between writing 10 -page chemistry lab reports, I was able to create a new hat pattern. The pattern is a modified version of the Reversible Strands for Men (and Women, too!) by Nancy Smith. I think the hat could work well as a sports team colors hat, but of course, it can be anything you want. Mine happens to be green and yellow, although I'm not sure what team that would correspond too...


Pattern:


Materials
2 colors of worsted weight yarn
K hook


Starting with primary color, Ch 3 and join with sl st to form ring.
Rnd 1. Ch 2. Dc 12 in the ring. Join with sl st to first st (join in this method throughout). Ch 1.
Rnd 2. Sc in same st slipped to (start like this throughout). Fpdc around same st. *Sc in next st, fpdc around same st. Repeat from * around. Join. Ch 1.
Rnd 3. Sc in same st. * 2 fpdc around next fpdc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join. Ch 1. At this point, you should have 24 fpdc sts and 12 scs.
Rnd 4. Sc in same st. *Fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next fpdc, fpdc around same fpdc, sc in next sc st. Repeat from * around. End with fpdc around next fpdc, sc in next fpdc, fpdc around same fpdc st. Join. Ch 1.
Rnd 5. Sc 2 in same st. *(fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around next fpdc st, sc 2 in next sc st. Repeat from * around. End with (fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around last fpdc. Join. Ch 1. At this point, you should have 24 fpdc sts and 30 sc sts.
Rnd 6. Sc 2 in same st, sc in next sc st. *(fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around next fpdc st, sc 2 in next sc st, sc in next sc st. Repeat from * around. End with (fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around last fpdc st. Join. Ch 1.
Rnd 7-17. Sc in same st, sc in next 2 sc sts. *(fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next 3 sc sts. Repeat from * around. End with (fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around last fpdc st. Join. Switch to secondary color for ch 1 at end of Rnd 17. Drop primary to back of work.
Rnd 18. Sc in same st, sc in next 2 sc sts. *(fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next 3 sc sts. Repeat from * around. End with (fpdc around next fpdc st, sc in next st) 3 times, fpdc around last fpdc st. Join. Switch to primary color for ch 1. Drop secondary to back of work.

Rnd 19. Repeat Rnd 17.
Rnd 20. Repeat Rnd 18.
Rnd 21. Repeat Rnd 17.

    1. It should be 24 stitches at the end of round 2. There are 12 in the first round. In round 2, you are doing one single crochet and one front post double crochet on every stitch from the first round.
