Hello, everyone!!! I hope each of you had a wonderful and blessed Merry Christmas. With the new year upon us, I want to share my newest pattern, “Love Is In The Air” Plaid Hat. This is so perfect for women and girls alike.
I used Red Heart Supersaver yarn and a 6.0mm hook for the body of the hat and a 5.0mm hook for the border. So this hat was made in one evening fairly quickly. I used red, pink and white yarn but you can use any color you want.
I will explain below how to make this the size you want.
Enjoy!!!
Size: Average-sized Adult Head (20"- 22" head circumference)
Materials:
--5.0mm & 6.0mm hook
-- 1 skein each of RHSS yarn in Cherry Red, White and Pretty 'N Pink (it takes a total of 100 -150 yds of yarn, depending on the size of your head)
--1 white faux fur pom (or you could opt to make your own pom or omit it)
--tapestry needle for weaving
U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch: chain
Sl st: slip stitch
St: stitch(es)
SC: single crochet
SC2tog: single crochet 2 stitches together (creates a decrease)
DC: double crochet
BLO: back loops only
Rep: repeat
Sk: skip
FO: fasten off
Plaid Stitch Note:
You will be carrying over the yarn as you work around the hat. In each round, you will only be working with 2 colors so leave the third color to the back at the start of each round and then you will pick it back up on the next round and drop the unused color to the back.
1. First round is worked rotating between 3 DC of white yarn and then 3 DC of pink yarn all the way around. Sl st join to the first stitch and ch1.
2. Second round is worked rotating between 3 DC of pink yarn and then 3 DC of red yarn all the way around. Sl st join to the first stitch and ch1.
Sizing:
To get the size you need this is what you will need to do.
1. First, remember, you have to work in multiples of 6.
2. Second, I used white yarn and the 6.0mm hook for the foundation and made 72 chains. I then slipped stitched to the first chain to form a ring.
3. Before joining to form the ring, you will want to make sure to make enough chains to reach around the head. I did not place the chains around the center of my forehead but upward at my hairline to get the crown.
A couple of things to note if you are altering the size:
1. If you are starting with less or more chains than the pattern calls for, then remember to work in multiples of 6.
2. Your last round for the top of the hat will be half the number of chains you start with.
3. Length of hat: I made 10 rounds of plaid. For a smaller-sized hat, you may only need 8-9 plaid rounds (or 11-12 rounds for larger). You may also decrease the number of border rounds to 3-5 (or add 1-2 more rounds for larger).
Directions:
Body of Hat:
--With 6.0mm hook and white yarn, Ch72. Sl st join to first ch to form a circle.
1. Ch1. DC in the first and second chs. DC in the third chain, however before you complete the st, drop the white yarn and pick up the pink yarn and complete the stitch. Carry over the white yarn as you work your next 3 DC in pink yarn. Remember, before you complete the 3rd DC st of each set, you will change the color. Continue this pattern around. Sl st join to first st. (72)
2. With pink yarn, Ch1. 3 DC in pink. Before completing the 3rd DC stitch, drop the pink yarn and join the red yarn and complete the stitch. Carry over the pink yarn as you work your next 3 DC st in red yarn. Continue this pattern repeat around. (72)
