ADULT/TEEN HAT
Copyright Beverly A.
Qualheim 2005, 2012
Size H hook
2 oz - 4 Ply worsted weight
yarn (acrylics wash up well and seem to last.)
Ch 65.
ROW 1: Dc in 3rd ch from the
hook and in each ch across. Ch 3. Turn.
ROWS 2-32 (or until hat
measures
approx. 12" in height): Dc in 2nd st in from edge chain, and then
across
to end of row. Ch 3. Turn. Row 33:
Dc as in previous rows, to end of row. Don't ch 3, just cut yarn enough
to sew side seam and end off by pulling yarn through last stitch.
Sew sides together using a
whip stitch. For top
- make a running stitch in and out of the sts of the last row of dc,
and pull tightly to gather the top.
Add a colorful pompom to the
top to keep the top tightly shut. I run pompom tail threads under a
couple
of stitches and tie tightly to secure. If you don't want a pompom, you
can just flip hat inside out and sew the top closed nicely. Flip
back to the right side, roll up a nice big, warm brim, and wear!
This looks really bright and pretty if you use different colors every few rows to create colored stripes.
