Crochet Harley Quinn Hat....

I crocheted this super cute and easy Harley Quinn Hat for my daughter-in-law, Brooke, today.  This project works up quickly, using a 5.5mm hook and worsted weight yarn.

Below, you will see my step-by-step photos using my Team Spirit pics.  My apologies.  I did not take pics of my Harley Quinn Hat as I worked on it.

Harley Quinn (or Team Spirit) Hat Pattern

Materials:

--5.5 mm hook

--#4 worsted weight yarn (for Harley Quinn - red, black & white) - less than 1 skein of each color

--tapestry needle for weaving 

Abbreviations:

Ch:  chain

Sl st:  slip stitch

Sc:  single crochet

Dc:  double crochet

RS:  right side

WS:  wrong side

Dec:  decrease stitch

FO:  fasten off 

Size:  this will fit an average person's head of 19-22" head circumference; if you need to make it bigger, then, start with a ch 18 or 19, instead of a ch 16.  

Directions:

Note:  The hat is worked in two separate pieces to start with.  Each piece will measure 32 rows of 15 stitches

1.  With first color, ch 16.  1sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, then a Dc into the next ch.  Sc in the next ch, then Dc in the next...repeat this across.  Ch 1.  Turn. (15)

2.  Dc in the first st, Sc in the 2nd st....repeat across.  Ch 1.  Turn. (15)

3.  Sc in the first st, Dc in the 2nd st...repeat across.  Ch 1.  Turn.  (15)

Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have completed 32 rows.  FO and leave a long tail for weaving pieces together.  

Following the above steps, make the 2nd piece with your 2nd color of choice.  Once you complete your second piece it will look like this:

With RS together, whipstitch the long ends together. In the pic above, you can see I had already started to whipstitch before I remembered to snap a pic... 

Here you can see the long ends whipstitched together...

With RS together, fold piece down.  At this point, you will whipstitch the sides together.  Use a ruler, and from the top measure down approximately 1" and place a stitch marker --you will leave the 1" opening unstitched.  

I started in the right lower corner.  I tied a knot first.  I then whipstitched up the side and stopped at my stitch marker (my hairpin...lol).  Repeat same steps on the left side.  Then turn your hat inside out so the RS is on the outside.  

This is what your hat will look like at this point.  

Here's a side view showing the 1" area that was left unstitched.  

Note:  Now, with your hook and 3rd color of choice you are going to make the band section of the hat.  Before you were working on rows with each section.  Now, you will be working in rounds.  

1.  Join yarn to any stitch and ch 1.  Sc in same stitch as ch 1 and around.  Join with sl st to first stitch and ch 1.  Use a marker to keep track of your first stitch, if needed.  

2-6.  1 Sc in each st around.  Sl st to join and ch 1.  Fasten off and weave ends.  

As you can see in the below pic, I completed a simple SC band for the hat.  If so desired, you can make additional rounds to accommodate for a bigger size.  

Once you complete the band portion, you have two options:

1.  You can choose to leave your hat now as is and make 2 pompoms to attach one to each side. 

To make pompon:  I used three fingers and wrapped 50 strands of yarn around.  I left a long tail to tie to the middle and then cut the ends open and ruffled my pompom together. 

OR 

2.  You can do what I did to lengthen the sides a bit before attaching the pompoms.  

1.  I attached the yarn in any stitch of the 1" opening and ch 1.  

2.  Sc in the same stitch as the ch 1 and evenly around.  (10)

3-8.  Sc in each stitch around.  Sl st to first st and ch 1.  

9.  Dec the first 2 stitches together.  Repeat 4 more times.  Fasten off.  Leave a tail to weave in and out of the last 5 stitches to close opening.  (5)

10.  Attach pompom.  

Below you will see the finished pics of the Harley Quinn and Team Spirit Hats.  As you can see, I made a few extra rounds on the band of the Harley Quinn Hat.
