Its simple and easy and uses hardly any yarn at all. Enjoy!

Today's pattern is a simple little hat to fit a 36 weeker bub. Yup, I've been on a kick with some bigger sizes lately, as requested by Chance's Clothes Project.

You will need:
DK weight yarn (8ply)
5mm hook.

36 weeks
R1: ch3, dc 12 times, join

R2: ch3, 2dc in each stitch around, join

R3: ch3, *2dc, 1dc* repeat around, join

R4: ch3, dc 3 times in the same stitch, *skip the next 3 stitches, dc 4 times in the next stitch* Repeat around, joining to the top of the ch3.

R5: ch1, sc in each stitch around, join to the first sc.

End off and weave in all ends.
