Crochet Boba Fett hat with my fav yarn, "I Love This Yarn," from Hobby Lobby for my daughter-in-law's party at my doc's office tomorrow. Laurel works for "the best" doctor hands down...
I designed this pattern using the Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HHDC). I love the look and texture of this stitch. But, if you prefer you can just do the Half Double Crochet stitch.
The base of the hat was made to fit up to a 21" head circumference. To make bigger just add more increase rows.
Materials:
-- 5mm crochet hook
--#4 worsted weight yarn (I used I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby in mid green, terra cotta and yellow)
--felt in black, gray, yellow
--tapestry needle with a pointed point(to use when weaving thru felt layer)
--tapestry needle with a blunt point for remaining weaving
--Elmer's Craft Bond glue
(All materials needed came from Hobby Lobby...)
