I was asked to design a couple of feminine, lacy hats for Christmas presents. This is one of them. It is a very easy pattern to follow and looks very chic and complicated when finished.
The two I will make, should my yarn ever arrive, will have smaller and more flowers, pearls, and leaves.
This hat is a woman or older teen size. If you wish to make a small child size I would suggest going down to an F hook.
Materials:
G hook
DK weight yarn, I used Premier Ever Soft which is rated a worsted but is much thinner. Sport weight is a great choice.
Tapestry needle to sew in tails.
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PATTERN BEFORE BEGINNING
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
*****Special Instructions*****
Please note, each round is joined in the top of the beginning chain 3 with a slip stitch. This will not be noted at the end of each round but taken as a given.
The beginning chain 3 always counts as 1 dc. The exception being round 2, beginning with a ch 4 which counts as 1 chain and 1 dc.
Where it states dc in same stitch it is always in the join where your ch 3 is.
Rnd 1: Leave at least a 3 inch tail, make a magic
circle, ch 3, 15 dcs in the MC, gently pull tail to close. Join
Rnd 2: Ch 4, (this counts as 1ch and 1 dc) * 1 dc in
next st, ch 1*. Join 16 dcs and 16 chs
Rnd 3: Ch 3, dc in same st, ch1, * 2 dcs in next st,
ch1* repeat around. Join
Rnd 4: Ch 3, dc in next st, ch2, * 1 dc in next 2
sts, ch 2* repeat around. Join
Rnd 5: Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next st, ch2, * 2
dc in next st, 1 dc in next st, ch2* repeat around. Join
Rnd 6: Ch 3, dc in same st, 1 dc in next 2 sts, ch2,
* 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next 2 sts, ch 2* repeat around. Join
Rounds 7 thru 13: Repeat round 6.
Try your hat on, if you require a longer
hat repeat round 6. I always must add an extra row when using the G hook because I crochet tightly. I usually jump to a size 7 hook which is not a common US hook. Those using the Tulip Etimo hook sets will find they do have this hook and if you crochet very tightly you might want to go up a size.
