Bev's Hats for Adults

Adult Hats
When you make one for yourself or a loved one this winter, please make another for a homeless shelter near you

adult/teen sized hat Bev's ADULT/TEEN HAT
Copyright Beverly A. Qualheim 2005, 2008
Size H hook
2 oz - 4 Ply worsted weight yarn (acrylics wash up best and seem to last longer.)
Ch 65.
ROW 1: Dc in 3rd ch from the hook and in each ch across. Ch 3. Turn.
ROWS 2-33 (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.
Sew sides together. For top - make a running st through the last row of dc, and gather tightly.
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.

This looks really bright and pretty if you use different colors every few rows to create colored stripes.

Bev's Scrap-Hat (adult sized)

Size G Hook
2 oz of 4 ply worsted weight yarn
Ch 72
ROW 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 1 and turn
ROW 2: sc in BLO of 2nd ch from hook and in each st across. Ch 1 and turn
(Keep crocheting in back loops only throughout pattern.)
ROW 3 until hat fits around head, continue in pattern, adding new colors wherever you please. You can even add them in the middle of a row for a neat variety.

When hat is wide enough, whip stitch the sides together, then weave around the top of hat and pull tightly to form top. You can add a pompom if you wish. Fold up the brim.
