One hat.

E2 finished one hat this AM. (Started yesterday afternoon.) One skein of Cascade 220 Superwash. From Stash. (YEAH! I haven't any idea what project the yarn was originally supposed to become.) Easy Rolled Brim Basic Crochet Hat. (Pattern at bottom of blog page.) Fits E2's 8-year old third grader, and the first grader too, of course. So it'll fit a Kindergarten student just fine. Size "I" hook.

    Besides size, are there any other specifications or preferences for these hats? I would like to send some, too.

    Denise, I'll LOVE it! Size and warmth are the two criteria. My sister (E1) is knitting with wool. I crocheted the first hat with superwash wool, and the second hat in progress is acrylic/wool blend. Aim for coverage and warmth. Bright happy colors especially suited to kids will be fantastic. As always, use stash yarn first and PICTURES!!! :-)

Crochet Basic Roll-Brimmed Hat

From 310 Hats


Worsted weight yarn
I hook (5 mm)
Marker


  • Chain 2
  • 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook. Place marker in last stitch.
  • 2 sc in each sc (12). Move marker.
  • (1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next stitch), repeat around (18 sc). Move marker.
  • (2 sc in each of first 2 sts, 2 sc in next stitch), repeat around (24 sc). Move marker.
  • (3 sc in ea of first 3 sts, 2 sc in next stitch), repeat around (30 sc). Move marker.
  • Continue in this manner for 13 or 14 rounds (increasing the number of scs before the increase by 1 each round) until your radius is about 3", diameter about 6", and circumference about 18". (78 scs or 84 scs). This should make a nice flat disc, which is the hat top.
  • Work even without increasing. It will start making a bowl shape. Continue even until the depth is about 6". It needs to be long enough and and big enough around to cover a Kindergarten-age child's head and ears.
  • To create a rolled brim, increase the stitches by 50%: (1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around.
  • Work a few rounds even.
  • Slip stitch around to give a nice tight, neat edge.
  • Cut yarn. Work in ends.
  • If the hat is too "airy", you can weave colored yarns through the stitch spaces. Colored yarns will be very decorative.
