I love hat season! It’s not quite time to wear them but every extra ball of yarn has a chance to be a head warmer! I love making hats! I love having a personal variety in styles and colors! I love wearing hats!
Also, hats are a great beginner project! It can be as simple as a few stitches learned and you can make hats! This particular hat is a simple pattern.
You start with a chain 5, slip stitch together. Then work 11 half double stitches in that circle. Slip together and that is your first row. Second row is work 2 half doubles in each stich around for a total of 25. For the third row you repeat that of 2 half doubles in each stitch. Ending with 48 and a small circle.
Which could be a coaster if you made a set of these! But we are making a hat! So row 4 and the rest of the rows are one half double stich in each. Don’t add to or take away any, just one stitch in each place.
When you get most of the length you want, you them switch to back loop only single stitch. One in each stitch. Do about 5 rows of this. This section makes thw band.
This size hat is for a child or small teen. I will do another for adult size with the same band soon.
