Crochet Adorable Hat
Crocheting adorable hats is a delightful way to add a touch of charm and coziness to your wardrobe. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, crafting your own hat allows you to infuse your personality into each stitch. The satisfaction of watching a ball of yarn transform into a stylish accessory is truly rewarding. Plus, the possibilities are endless — you can choose your favorite yarn colors, experiment with various patterns, and even add cute embellishments like pom poms or buttons. So, grab your hooks, select a soft yarn, and let your creativity flow as you crochet your way to a collection of charming hats that are as unique as you are!
You will need:
* 8mm crochet hook
* 6.5mm crochet hook (optional, it's for the flower)
* Two or four balls of super bulky yarn, depending on which style you choose to make (I have used DROPS Eskimo)
Hat pattern:
With 8mm hook,
Chain 4, join into a ring
Chain 2, 9 hdc into the ring, sl st in top of chain 2 to close — 10 sts
Chain 2, hdc in same space, hdc inc in each st around, sl st to close — 20 sts
Chain 2, hdc inc in next, *hdc, hdc inc* nine times, sl st to close — 30 sts
Chain 2, hdc in next, hdc inc, *2 hdc, hdc inc* nine times — sl st to close — 40 sts

Chain 2, hdc in next 2, hdc inc, *3 hdc, hdc inc* — nine times, sl st to close — 50 — sts
Chain 2, hdc around, sl st to close — 50 sts
Chain 2, hdc in next 8, hdc inc, *9 hdc, hdc inc* four times, sl st to close — 55 sts
Repeat the last round seven times for a total of 8 rounds without increase
Chain 1, sc around, sl st to close — 55 sts
Repeat the last round once
Finish off the hat with a round of crab stitch or backwards single crochet.
If you want to make the longer, floppy version of the hat, simply crochet 7 more rounds without increase. Crochet 3 rounds of sc instead of 2 to make the hat more steady. Finish off with a round of crab stitch.
Flower pattern:
With 6.5mm hook,
8 sc in ring, sl st in front loop of 1st sc
Continue working in the front loops only:
*Chain 4, sl st in same st, chain 4, sl st in next st* around — 16 loops
Break yarn, pull the end through to the back
Assembly:
Attach the flower to the hat and weave in all ends. All ready to wear
