What has been swapped, What's going to Seneca Santa, and the Lapghan

Just in case you were worried about it....

Here's the hat that has been swapped INTO the big bag of hats. Caron yarn in Cape Code Blue, seed stitch cuff. Yarn doubled. Acrylic.

Here are the items that are going to Seneca Santa:
From E1, a small child's hat
From E2, Lavender Leader acrylic never-inside-out hat and mitten set

Here's a picture of the lapghan I made for the Wounded Warrior project care of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Attleboro, MA. I dropped it off at the church today.

So, I'm pausing at 59 hats for the moment. I'm heading out to the Tatting Conference early tomorrow morning. E1 has a prime number of hats, too. I will post those pictures after I return from New York.

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.
