New Photos!

The careful observer or dedicated follower will note that there are THREE NEW PHOTOS in the slide show! Angela C, the beautiful and talented, of Blessed Designs has sent three wonderful hats for the project! See the tan moose hat with pom pom, the wonderfully colorful primary colored red-based hat, and the delightfully soft blue with yellow trim fleece hat! Thank you so much, Angela! They are LOVELY!!!!!

(The photos do NOT do them justice. Hey, it's a phone. Its primary job is talking, not pictures. And besides, the silly thing crashed about 5 times while I tried to take the pictures. I hope to retake better ones when I have more daylight. Fluorescent lighting makes for carpy pictures.)

Thank you again, Angela! What a delightful thing to find in my mailbox today!

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.
