Materials:

“I� Hook ~ use bigger hook for larger fit.
Yarn needle
3 oz. 4 ply, worsted weight yarn (main color)
.5 oz 4 ply, worsted weight yarn (secondary color)
24 inch length ribbon (x2)



Stitches:
Ch = chain
Sl st = slip stitch
Sc = single crochet
Dc = double crochet
Dec = decrease : After finishing a dc, yarn over, pull through next st, pull through next st, (there should be 4 loops on hook) yarn over. pull through 2, yarn over, pull through 3 remaining loops, continue with dc's.

Gauge: 10 dc = 3.5 inches

NOTES: * Repeat the instructions between the asterisks*. My reason for decreasing on 2 of the rows was to make the hat more fitted. You may wish to decrease on one row or not at all. If so, you may wish to complete row 4, then dc around until hat reaches desired length.


Row 1: Ch 2 (this Ch 2 is NOT counted as the 1st stitch throughout entire pattern), 12 dc in 2nd ch from hook. Sl st in top ch 2 that began row.

Row 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in same st, *2 dc in next 11 sts* around (24 sts total). Sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 3: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, 2 dc in next st *1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st* around (36 sts total), sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 4: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, 1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st *1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st* around (48 sts total), sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 5: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, 1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st *1 dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st* around (60 sts total), sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 6: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st *1 dc in next st* around(60 sts total) sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 7: Repeat row 6

Row 8: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, 1 dc in next 4 sts, decrease next 2 sts into 1dc, *1 dc in next 5 sts, decrease next two sts into 1 dc* around [this row ends with a dc, not a decrease], sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 9: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, *1 dc in next st* around (52 sts total) sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

Row 10: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, 1 dc in next 3 sts, decrease next 2 sts into 1 dc, *1 dc in next 4 sts, decrease next 2 sts into 1 dc* around [this row ends with a dc, not a decrease], sl st [change your color at the end of this row]

Row 11: Ch 2, 1 dc in same st, *1 dc in next st* around (44 sts total), sl st

Row 12: Repeat row 11 [change back to the original color at the end of this row]

Row 13: Ch 1, sc in same st, *sc in next st* around

Shell Edging:
Row 14: Sc in 1st sc of previous row, 5dc in next st, skip 2 sts, sc in next st (sc in next st, 5 dc in next st, skip 2 sts, sc in next st) around [finish with a sc and fasten off] Weave in all ends.

Ribbon: (24 inch length x2)
Begin where you would like the bow of the ribbon to sit on the hat. Use your yarn needle to weave the ribbon through the two rows of dc’s (11 & 13) of the hat in a zig zag pattern. Continue until you come to where you began. Begin where your first ribbon did and thread the second piece of ribbon in the opposite zig zag pattern to create the X’s. All four ends of the ribbon should meet up in the same place. Tie them
in a bow. Alternatively, you can tie the ribbon, weave in the ends, and attach a rosette.

:yay Yeah! Your *first* pattern finished and up for sharing! Great job little sister. How handy to have a bust to model your hats on, too! Here's a pic of the one I made when I tested it.

Wow that is a cute hat.. I like the touch of the ribbon. Even a Ribbon flower instead of the bow would be a cute touch ... Thank you for sharing the pictures and the pattern with us. Not a hat lady here but that is really cute.

I am going to try these in a soft yarn for my friend that lost her hair in a farming accident

Beautiful! The shells make an awesome border. Especially love the colors on the first one :)

[Frangipani]

Thanks so much ladies! I'm actually made another one of these last night in chenille (sp) for a friend and remembered how much I love this pattern.

I created this pattern with the intention that they would make lovely/stylish chemo caps with a vintage-ish look.

Glad you like 'em! :D I can't wait to see how yours turn out! I'll post mine too as soon as I can get them uploaded. :photo

Cheers,
Bec

[mmetz]

I have had your hat pattern in my "book" for quite some time now, and I finally made it. It was very easy to make, and it looks quite lovely. Keep up the great work!

[Tinamah]

I don't know how I missed this being here. I love these hats. Yours are gorgeous. I can't wait to get started. But what size hook do you recommend, on my computer for some reason the size hook looks like a bunch of Greek writing?

[SHERYL]

Wow, the hat is cool!!

:clap

[miller3602]

Ooo, pretty! Thanks 4 the pattern!

[rosebud1st]

:waving Nice hat. Can you give me the finsihed measurements? :think What is the circumference around? That way I will know if it will fit my head. :) :coffee

[Emo Penguin Toast]

:manyheart That is so adorable!

[Daydreamer-girl]

What a supercute hat! :)

[siminsc]

I'm glad it's not just me on the hook size. I was going to say it came out looking like Arabic. I love the hats and am going to make one for me. Thankyou for sharing.

[makeitmommy]

Very nice! I'll have to make one someday. :yay

[cher49]

[lisaluger50]

[breakingstandard]

This is totally my next project. Thanks for sharing!

[treasuredheirlooms]

those are cute

[TimaDaDiva]

I'm glad it's not just me on the hook size. I was going to say it came out looking like Arabic. I love the hats and am going to make one for me. Thankyou for sharing.

I believe it's an I hook. It is some odd writing there but if you look closely, you'll see the hook size in between the greek/arabic writing. If I am wrong, please correct me.

[greeneggs]

Thanks for sharing this with us! I am going to make this for my daughter, who is a HUGE hat fan for Christmas....muchas gracias!

[Darsa]
