Braided Crochet Hat

Try this simple Crochet Braided Hat that has ear flaps and braids. The yarn is bulky and has wool for warmth. Due to the yarn being bulky, this pattern hooks up really quickly.
The yarn used was Schachenmayr Boston Yarn which is part of the My Mountain series of yarns.
This yarn has been discontinued. Use #5 Chunky Weight Yarn when doing this pattern.

So is the stitch count on the written pattern wrong? I couldn’t find any corrections anywhere. Mikey says round 2 should be 16 stitches but the written pattern says 18. Halp!!!
I agree. The pattern has to be wrong.
I haven’t made this one myself, where are you seeing the mistake?
Bang on!! You make me think ” I can do this” and then you show me how! Thank you so much!!!
As simple as this pattern is, I couldn’t make the stitch count work according to pattern. Thank goodness for this video. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Now to finally get going on the hat.
Hey Mikey I love to watch your videos. The problem I have with the USA peak is the stitch count no matter how many times I try I don’t end up with a single double crochet I always seem to end the round with 2dc. What am I doing wrong???
I just wanted to let you know that I truly enjoy all of your lessons and I have learned and gotten lots of ideas from them. Also, I want to wish you all the best of every little thing that your heart desires for the holidays and all the year.
HI Mike and Crochet Crowd rep’s. 🙂 I look so forward to your new projects in my email as well as other customer ideas. The video’s are my favorite because I’m a new crocheter/knitter.
