Crochet
warm hats for those in need.
If you want to help your local homeless shelters with these, that would
be great. You can also make and donate them to "Millie's Soup Kitchen in the Bronx. CLICK HERE for their information.
This
will make a hat to
fit a 21-22" adult head, to make them larger, simply chain 4 more, and work 4
more rows.
Size H (5 mm) Crochet hook
2
oz of sports
weight
yarn or a 'lighter' worsted weight You can also hold 2 strands of sock
yarn together. For the hat pictured I used Lion Brand
Woolese Sport yarn. Hat is crocheted flat, folded in half lengthwise and seamed up.
Ch 35
(Work each row in the back loops to get that ridge.)
ROW
1: Dc in
the 3rd
ch from the hook and in each ch across row. Ch 2 and turn.
ROW
2: HDC in
the
dc nearest to the hook. (Other wise it leaves a small gap) HDC in each
dc across. Ch 3 and turn.
ROW
3: Dc in
the hdc
nearest the hook, and in each hdc across row. Ch 2 and turn.
ROW
4 - 36:
Repeat
Rows 2 and 3. Ending on a HDC row.
(Keep
doing a visual
check
to make sure the hat is staying even - about 8" across (this will be
the height of the hat) . The faux 'brim'
will add another 1/2" or so.)
After
your final ch 3
and
turn, head across the 'brim' of the hat using 66 dc spread evenly
across
the row. Finish off at the end of the 'brim' row and leave a 20" tail
of
yarn to do the seams and gather the top of the hat. (The 'brim' is not
one you will fold up.)
FINISHING:
You
now have a 19" x 8
1/2"
rectangle. Fold this in half lengthwise so it measures 9 1/2"
x 8
1/2", and whip stitch your side seam shut. Now weave the
needle
and
yarn in and out around the top tthen pull tightly without breaking
yarn.
I found I needed to place a few sts across the hole in the top, so I
wouldn't
need a pom pom.
BRIM: After sewing seams, do a round of HDC around the "brim"
