PATTERN: Crochet Hat for My Mom

Hello friends!

Thank you so much for all your comments on my last post, I'm so warm in my heart with your kind thoughts and uplifting words. They are so precious to me, just let you know how much I appreciate!

I have received some messages from some of you recently asking for the pattern of the hat I made for my mom a while ago. When I made it before I just moved the stitches and didn't notice to write the pattern down (lazy me!), that's why I couldn't remember the pattern to share. But I've been so happy you like it! So now I just wrote the pattern and made another one to test, with different yarn and hook. Hope you like it and give it try!

I made this hat with the same cotton yarn of the rose brooch I made a few months back. This way I don't have to make a flower to attach! But it looks nice, isn't it? :)

With the brim turned up... This pattern is quite simple and easy to make, but it turned out just lovely!

Well, enough for my showing, it's time for the pattern!

HAT PATTERN:
Yarn: Cotton yarn (Sugar 'n Cream also works well with this pattern).
Hook size: F - 3.75mm

Make a magic circle.

Flat circle for the top:
  • Round 1: Ch 1, 7 sc through the loop. Do not join, place marker and work a continual round.
  • Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around (14 sc)
  • Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (21 sc)
  • Round 4: *1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (28 sc)
  • Round 5: *1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (35 sc)
  • Round 6: *1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (42 sc)
  • Round 7: *1 sc in each of the next 5 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (49 sc)
  • Round 8: *1 sc in each of the next 6 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (56 sc)
  • Round 9: *1 sc in each of the next 7 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (63 sc)
  • Round 10: *1 sc in each of the next 8 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (70 sc)
  • Round 11: *1 sc in each of the next 9 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. (77 sc)

You can adjust this flat top to fit your head by adding more or subtracting the last row (84 sts).

Hat body:

  • From round 3: Repeat round 2 until you get the desired length.

Hat brim:
  • Round 1: Ch 1, sc in the same stitch, sc in the next 5 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. *sc in the 6 next stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. Do not join. (96 sc)

Missing Crochet and Blogging

Hi everyone! How are you? It's been a long time since my last post, I hope everyone is so well and did enjoy a gorgeous weekend!

I have been so busy for work and family recently and hardly find time for other things. It's been more than one month I didn't blog, but you - my bloggy friends - are still there, continue visiting, following my blog and leaving sweet words on my posts during my "absence", that really warms my heart... Thank you! I'm sorry for not either visiting back or leaving comments on yours as often as I wish, but I surely will, I will try to get back to my favorites as soon as I can!
I've been missing crochet so much. I tried some moments I had in the busy days to make these small flowers...

I also don't know what they will be for, just to crochet, just to pick my hook and touch my yarn again. That feeling is always so special to me...

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my rambling today. Take care, and wish you all a wonderful new week!

Love and hugs
