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)

Another Ridge Hat With Brim

Happy Sunday everyone!

I finished this hat last week but was so busy to take photos and post, well, how time flies, it's weekend again and I'm happy to have something to share with you all!

 

It was made with the same pattern as the one I made before for my Mom (pattern can be found here). I wanted to try it with another type of yarn and hook size, so I used Lion Brand Cotton Ease, Seaspray color and size G-6 4.25mm, bigger than the one I used in my original pattern. I adjusted stitches and shells a bit as I used a larger hook: 6 rounds for top and 8 shells for hat body. The brim was done exactly what the pattern says. It turned out as lovely as I expected!

Such a nice idea to make a sun hat for this summer, I love this hat, the color is so lovely! It also has a softy touch and so comfy to wear under the sun!

Have a happy Sunday everyone, I wish your summer is gorgeous and enjoyable!

~ Thank you for stopping by and see you soon ! ♥

Pattern For My Ridge Hat With Brim

Hi everyone,

Thanks a bunch for making my day with your so sweet and lovely comments on my hat last post. Some of you have wondered if I could share the pattern, honestly I didn't write it down when I were making, so I tried to write it down here in case you would like to use. Please feel free to let me know if there's any mistake.

With size F (3.75mm) crochet hook and some cotton (or any kind of yarn as you wish), make a Magic circle.

Flat circle for the top:

• Round 1: Ch 3 (count as the first dc), 11 dc in loop. Join with slip stitch to the beginning chain 3 (12 dc)
• Round 2: 2 dc in each stitch around (24 dc)
• Round 3: *1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. Join (36 dc)
• Round 4: *1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. Join (48 dc)
• Round 5: *1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue around from *.Join (60 dc)
• Round 6: *1 dc in each of the next 4 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. Join (72 dc)
• Round 7: *1 dc in each of the next 5 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue around from *. Join (84 dc)

Hat body:

• Round 1: Ch 3 (count as the first dc), * skip 2 stitches, work 2 dc in the next stitch, chain 1, 2 dc in the same stitch (this will form a shell). Skip 2 stitches, dc in the next stitch. Continue from * for the remainder of the round. Join with slip stitch to the beginning chain 3 (14 shells in total) 
• Round 2: Ch 1, Front Post Single Crochet (FPSC) around the previous chain-3, chain 1 (count as the first FPDC). * Skip 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next ch-1 space, chain 1, 2 dc in the same stitch to complete a shell. Skip 2 stitches, work 1 Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) around the previous dc. Continue around from * for the remainder. Join to the chain 1 right above the first FPSC. (You will have total of 14 shells and 14 FPDC between each shell).
• Repeat round 2 for the next 9 rounds. Join with slip stitch to the first FPDC. 
• (This will straighten the shells) Ch 1, FPSC around the previous stitch, * hdc in the next stitch, sc in the next stitch, slip stitch to the chain-1 space, sc in the next stitch, hdc in the next stitch, FPDC around the previous FPDC. Continue around from * for the remainder. Join (84 stitches in total)

Ridge brim:

Note: make a FPDC instead of a dc around every previous FPDC. This will create the ridges for your brim.

• Round 1: Ch 1, FPSC around the previous stitch, ch 1, 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch (make an increase). * 1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue from *. Join (105 dc in total)

• Round 3: Ch 1, FPSC around the previous stitch, ch 1, 1 dc in each stitches around. (126 dc)
• Round 4: Ch 1, FPSC around the previous stitch, ch 1, 1 dc in each of the next 4 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch (make an increase). * 1 dc in each of the next 5 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue from *. (147 dc) 
• Round 5: Ch 1, FPSC around the previous stitch, ch 1, 1 dc in each stitches around. (147 dc)

 Slip stitch (or reverse sc) all around to make the brim stronger.

FLOWER PATTERN

This flower has three layers, three particular flowers are stacked from big to small.

The flower with big petals:

My Mom Has Another Hat!

I always love making something for my Mom, something sometimes is very simple but special, just as it comes from my heart and I make it myself! Nothing is greater than a handmade one don't you think? So this time, again I crocheted her another hat! :)

I've just made it with some yarn left and it's my very own one, come with no pattern. I played around with some stitches and finally I decided to make one like this. Love how it turned out, love the stitches I've done, and love how it fits my Mom also!

Thank you soooooo much for your visit and your sweet words on my posts so far, they really made my day, to be honest!

Take good care everyone, hope you have a gorgeous week!

See you very soon!!! x

Happy Day - Happy Hat!!!

How was your weekend, my friends? I do hope you had a wonderful time with your loved ones and inspired me with your crafting creations! My Sunday was GREAT, I had the sunshine, with my family and my sweetheart by my side all day long! My Happy day also filled with this:

I finished this lovely hat on Sunday, and how I can say, just love, love, love it!!! :)
This hat was made with the same pattern as my last broad brimmed hat, I just modified a little bit and added the leaf embellishment all around, and it turned out much prettier than I expected!
Wishing you a beautiful new week, full of joy and happiness!!!
See you soon, x

My Mom Has A New Hat!

I made this hat with some yarn left from the sweater I crocheted for my Mom a while ago. Crochet hats is not very difficult, I just always think and think what stitches I should use for them. Finally I decided to make it like this as you can see. My Mom likes it so much and wears it every morning when walking for exercise.

 Hope you all enjoy a very beautiful weekend! x

Shell crochet hat

I have just finished this hat and taken a picture to upload here. This hat is for Mom, she will wear it every morning when walking for exercise. She likes it so much, thanks Mom!

Colorful things for opening my new camera!

I have just received a new camera, purchased from Best-Buy US. It's a Sony Cyber-shot with silver cover, 4x optical zoom and 14.1 megapixel. The design is very cool, thin and fashionable. It also gives true color and very sharp pictures. Love it!

And here are some stuff I made to open my new cam :)
