40th

I finished hat 40 last night so I'm counting it for yesterday. That makes 40 hats in 47 days. Still not a hat/day.

Hat 40 is a small one; it cannot be cuffed up. It's a single layer hat only. I used up the very last of the skeins of Impeccable Chunky. (Michael's, Loops & Threads). It's soft. I hope it's warm.

On my needles for Friday is a hat in Lion Brand Jiffy, color "Kitty Hawk". (The description of the color reads, "White with a tiny and subtle print of pistachio and rose.") I bought the yarn just because I liked the name of the color!

    That is about 37 more hats than I've accomplished in the same time, so stop beating yourself about it.

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.
