Welcome!!
When shopping the other day I came across this
pretty teal yarn.........
Now that's coming home with me...........
Not sure at the time what I was going to create until.......
today....... It is snowing here in Ontario Canada....
Surprise!!
So today was the day to sit and crochet a hat....
with the cutest flower.............
If you are beginner this is easy ......peasy....
So lets get started...
I used Red Heart soft worsted medium #4.
a crochet hook for that wool was a 4.5 mm (use whatever
wool you have and a hook that wool calls for)
Start with a chain of 70 stitches.............Or measure the
circumference of the head that is going to wear this hat.
ch chain
sc single crochet , sl slip stitch...
these are the only stitches used......
After you chain 70...... sc in the 2nd st. from the hook...
sc every st. to the end...then ch 1 and turn.....
continue sc in each st. across remembering to ch 1 at the end
of each row.....
crochet till you have crocheted 8 inches from the beginning.
Now it is time to knot off. the yarn.
fold the two sides together and using your crochet hook
left to right
weave a sc in each st. making sure you have both sides.
It's like sewing the seams together.
Once you have reached the top leave a tail of yarn about
6 inches.
Now at the top of the hat you are going to take that 6 inch
yarn and weave it in and out (it's like gathering) then once
you are at the end pull tight and secure yarn.
Turn inside out....Now you are done...
Embellish with a flower or leave plain.
If you have any problems following this pattern....
please let me know....I tend to just do it without thinking.
I hope I'm a good teacher...........
Won't you give it a try...........
Now the flower tutorial you can find here.......
Thanks for visiting.
