Good morning lovlies,
Angels for the Forgotten's annual craft challenge has kicked off again this year. I've set myself some personal goals, including making 100 hats. I'm trying for a good range of male and female styles and some unisex too, but I'm really having a hard time finding guys hats I like the looks of. So I'm just winging it! Of course winging it means you guys get some more patterns woo!
Today's pattern is a basic enough hat for anyone to make, and it is a great stash buster too, especially if like me you hoard all the little balls that could make a few stripes! Id like to say sorry for the photo too, its been raining and overcast here all day and I can't seem to get a nicely lit pic. Ahh well, we're here for the pattern right, not the pics :D
You will need:
DK weight yarn in a main colour, and 2 contrasting colours for the stripes. For this pattern, Grey is colour A, brown is colour B and green is colour C
5mm hook.
With colour A
1: ch2, dc 10 times into the 1st chain, join to 1st dc.
2: ch3, 2dc in each stitch around, join
3: ch3, *2dc in the first stitch, dc in the next stitch* Repeat around, join.
4: ch3, *2dc in the first stitch, dc in the next 2 stitches* Repeat around, join.
5: ch3, *2dc in the first stitch, dc in the next 3 stitches* Repeat around, join.
6: ch3, *2dc in the first stitch, dc in the next 4 stitches* Repeat around, join.
7-8: ch3, dc in each stitch around, join.
9: With colour B, ch2, hdc in each stitch around, join.
10: With colour C, ch3, dc in each stitch around, join.
11: With colour B, ch2, hdc in each stitch around, join.
12: With colour A, ch3, dc in each stitch around, join.
13-16: Repeat rows 9-12 once more
17: ch1, sc in each stitch around, join.
End off here and weave in all tails.
If you are after a slightly slouchier hat, repeat rows 9-12 for a third time, and for a super slouchy hat repeat for a forth.
Hi, what does dk mean?
ReplyDeleteDouble Knit. It can also be referred to as 8ply or light worsted weight depending on your location :)
