Hat Update!

Two more hats done (one from last week and one from this week) and one has a scarf to match. I had an entire skein of this gold, bulky weight yarn I was going to use for an afghan - but found a bright yellow that worked better. Which is why I wanted to make a matching scarf and hat set. So because I did these on my own I'm attempting to write a 'pattern'. This is my first one - so be kind!!

For the scarf using a 'K' hook- single crochet (sc) 141 - sc in loop second from the hook and sc to the end. Continue sc for 14 rows. I then added three rows of double crochet to each end of the scarf to fatten the ends a bit.
To finish using a contrasting color - triple crochet around the entire piece, at each corner sc three before turning to prevent the piece from looking to squished.

Easy Peasy!!



If you want to make the hat - this is what I did using a 'K' hook:

In Main Color
Ch 2
Row 1: in second loop from the hook, dc 8 and join with a slip stitch
Row 2: ch 3 (will always count as the first dc/tc in the first loop) dc in same loop then 2dc in each remaining loop and join with a slip stitch
Row 3: ch 3, dc in first loop, dc in next loop *2dc in next loop, dc in next loop* continue until end and join with a slip stitch
Row 4: ch 3, dc in same loop, dc in next two loops, *2dc in next loop, dc in next two loops* continue to end and join with a a slip stitch

In Contrasting Color
Row 5: ch 4 (counts as the first tc) tc in same loop, tc in next 3 loops, *2tc in next loop, tc in next three loops* continue to end and join with slip stitch

In Main Color
Row 6: ch 3, dc in same loop, dc in next 4 loops, *2sc in next loop, dc in next 4 loops* continue to end and join with slip stitch
Row 7 and 8: ch 3, dc in each loop to end and join with slip stitch

In Contrasting Color
Row 9 -11: ch 3, sc in each loop to end and join with slip stitch

In Main Color
Row 12 - 14: ch 3, dc in each loop to end and join with slip stitch

In Contrasting Color
Row 15: ch 4, tc in each loop to end and join with slip stitch
Row 16: *ch 4, slip stitch in next loop*continue to end and join with a slip stitch - this creates the ruffly edge at the bottom of this hat.

Keep in mind - I have never written a pattern before, so let me know if there are any corrections!

Happy Hooking...



This is just a basic hat pattern that turned out to be pretty fat - but I'm sure there is someone out there with a big fat head it will fit perfectly.
