Hello. Happy Summer, everyone. I'm still waiting to start at the Smithsonian, so in the meantime, I was able to write up a hat pattern I've been meaning to do for about a year now. Here it is. I'm going to need to take better pics at some point.
Pattern:
Materials
Worsted weight yarn
K hook
Ch 3 and join with sl st to form ring. Ch 2.
Rnd 1. Dc 12 into ring. Join to first dc with sl st. Join this way throughout. Ch 2.
Rnd 2. 2 fpdc in each dc including the one slipped to. Join. Ch 2. (24 sts)
Rnd 3. *2 fpdc in first fpdc st, 1 fpdc in next fpdc st. Repeat from * around. Join. Ch 2. (36 sts)
Rnd 4. *2 fpdc in first fpdc st, 1 fpdc in next 2 fpdc sts. Repeat from * around. Join. Ch 2. (48 sts)
Rnd 5. *2 fpdc in first fpdc st, 1 fpdc in next 3 fpdc sts. Repeat from * around. Join. Ch 2. (60 sts)
Rnds 6-23. 1 fpdc in each fpdc st around. Join. Ch 2.
Rnd 24. Sc 1 in each st around. Join. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Check the length of your work when you get to Rnd 22 or so. With 23 rnds and one rnd of sc, it could be just slightly too long for some people.
For personal use only. Do not sell the final hat or this pattern.
This pattern is great! It works up quickly, and is so thick and warm! Thanks for sharing your original pattern. I can see myself making a whack of these for charity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern! I've made a ton of these hats for the charity Bridge and Beyond. They are nice and warm.
DeleteI am in receipt of those hats that above Katie B made using her pattern. What I like about them is how sturdy, thick and warm they are. AND they can be worn one of 2 ways, straight as you show in your picture and or rolling up the brim which looks very stylish and would aid someone in case the hat was a bit too large. Very nice! Would it be alright if added your pattern and link to my blog under the hats tab? Thanks for your consideration
DeleteOophs, also meant to add, I'm your newest follower. Where in MD are you from? My DD lived in Balt for 2 years while she was working on her Masters.
DeleteOnly add the link and please restate that the hats are for personal (and charity) use only. I'm glad to know that hats created from my patterns are going to people who need them. :)
DeleteOn another note, I'm from Ellicott City, MD but I'm currently living in Austin, TX because of graduate school.
if you do a ring of 4 chs it works better
ReplyDeleteI'm new to crocheting and am not up to speed on all the stitches. What is fpdc?
