HDC Crochet Hat Pattern

Mikey's Crochet Hat

This year, I have been focused on more animal fibre blends for my winter gear. Let's face it, if you add natural animal fibres, you increase the warmth significantly in a project. This is Mikey's Wool Crochet Hat.

While I get that some people are allergic to animal fibres, there are people like me who it doesn't bother. So it's up to you to choose the best materials to use that is right for your personal preferences.

This easy pattern features a Half Double Crochet as the main stitch throughout. The yarn is Patons Colorwul. Colour seen is called Creek. I was able to hook this up in no time.

I tweaked an existing pattern on Yarnspirations for this version. I was looking for a hat to match my Tunisian Basket Weave Cowl that I had designed.

Materials

• Size 5.5 mm or I Hook Size.
• 2 Skeins of Patons Colorwul. Colour is called Creek.
• Stitch Marker

Notes

You will love this pattern as you will not see any slip stitching in any of the rounds. The entire hat is completed in a continuous revolution. This will make the transitions of colour seamless. The stitch marker will help you locate when you have done a full revolution to keep count.

If you find the hat is too big for you, simply reduce your hook size to Size H or 5 mm or even less if you want it smaller. The Colorwul is a Chunky 5 Weight.
