It's a Monday. That must mean...

It's Monday. Must mean there are seven new hats to show.

HA!

Coincidence does not imply causality!

Yes, it's Monday. Yes, I have seven new hats to show you. But it's merely a coincidence. I do NOT promise to have seven new hats to show on every Monday!

Hat 50 - simple wisteria hat with seed stitch cuff made of Paton's merino wool

"Diamonds and Wisteria" --- Is that the name of a sad country song about drinking too much and sleeping out of doors, or is it the name of a hat?

More wonderful hats by Dale of my Toastmasters club! She knit five very clever hats and brought them to the Toastmasters meeting on Saturday morning. Thank you, Dale, so much! Your blessing will have ripples beyond your ability to imagine. I'm sure! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

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.
