Half Double Crochet Hat Pattern

This year, I have focused on using more animal fibre blends for my winter gear. Let's face it: Adding natural animal fibres significantly increases a project's warmth. 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.

Pattern

1. Ch 3, 6 hdc in the 3rd ch from hook. Mark last stitch with a stitch marker. You will continually move this stitch marker to the last stitch in the revolution as you complete each round.
2. *Work 2 hdc in each stitch around. Move stitch marker.
3. *Work 2 hdc in each stitch around. Move stitch marker.
4. *Work 2 hdc in the next stitch, 1 hdc in each of the next 5 sts. Repeat * around. Move stitch marker.

6. *Work 2 hdc in the next stitch, 1 hdc in each of the next 7 sts. Repeat * around. Move stitch marker.
7. *Work 2 hdc in the next stitch, 1 hdc in each of the next 8 sts. Repeat * around. Move stitch marker.
8. *Work 2 hdc in the next stitch, 1 hdc in each of the next 9 sts. Repeat * around. Move stitch marker.
9. Work 1 hdc into each stitch around.
10. Continue to complete step 9 until your hat measures 9 - 10" from the top of the hat to the brim.
11. To finish, final 3 stitches are 1 hdc into each. Slip Stitch into next 3 stitches. Fasten off and eave in ends.

Good Luck!
