ADULT/TEEN HAT

Qualheim 2005, 2009
Size H hook
2 oz - 4 Ply worsted weight
yarn (acrylics wash up best and seem to last longer,but wools are
warmer.)
Chain 65.
ROW 1: Double crochet in the 3rd
chain from the
hook and in each chain across. Chain 3. Turn.
ROWS 2-33 (or until hat
measures
approx. 12" in height): Double crochet in 2nd stitch in from edge
chain, and then
across
to end of row. Chain 3. Turn.
Sew sides together.
For top
- make a running stitch through the last row of double crochet, and gather tightly.
Roll up brim.
Add a colorful pompom to the
top to keep the top tightly shut. I run pompom tail threads under a
couple
of stitches and tie tightly to secure.
This looks really bright
and
pretty if you use different colors every few rows to create colored
stripes.
