another mosaic & a PS

E2's Hat 31 is another mosaic hat. Not a hat with another mosaic. :-) I used the same mosaic pattern as hat 30. But the two hats are different because the cuffs are different and the number of repeats is different. I changed needle sizes. Hat 30 was done on #10 needles with 60 stitches (6 repeats) and Hat 31 was done on #8 needles with 80 stitches (8 repeats). Same yarn: Paton's Merino. Next mosaic hat will have eagles. Keep an eye out!

PS - I heard from E1 who heard from her friend, P. P has done over 20 hats and her daughter will go to her house to take digi-pics of them! So, shortly there should be some digi-pics of at least 20 more hats. Our total count is easily over 100 now. I've seen P's knitting before. (She was on the Land's End Feel Good knitting team with E1 and me.) She's a great knitter! I'm sure the hats are lovely.

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.
