Simple Hats

This is a very simple hat pattern based off of the Red Heart Team Cheers Ear-Flap pattern. This pattern can be worked in continuous rounds, joining with a SLST after Round 16 (18 for M/L). It can also be worked each round as its own row, joining with a SLST and then CH 1 at the end of each round.

Materials

  • Any worsted weight yarn in whatever color(s) you prefer
  • Size J-10 Crochet Hook (or whatever size is needed to obtain the correct gauge)
  • Stitch Marker (optional for marking start of round)

Gauge

Rounds 1-4 = 4”

Stitches Used

CH – Chain
SLST – Slip Stitch
SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
SC2TOG – Insert hook through next stitch and draw through a loop. Repeat on the next stitch so that there are 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

Sizes

The pattern has the stitches for the XS hat in bold/black. Other sizes are in brackets and are designated like this: [S#, M#, L#].

Approximate diameters are:
Extra Small - 17-18”
Small - 19-20”
Medium - 21-22”
Large - 23-24”

The size will vary with the yarn used and if the gauge is off. The Large makes a great “one size fits most”.

Main Part of Hat

Make a Magic Ring (or Adjustable Ring) OR CH 3 and connect with a SLST to form a ring

Round 1: 9 [S10, M11, L12] HDC in Ring

Round 2: 2 HDC in each HDC (18 [S20, M22, L24] stitches)

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Braids

  • Cut 12 strands approximately 24” long (if using 2 colors, 6 strands of each; if using 3 colors; 4 strands of each)
  • Divide into 6 bunches (2 strands per bunch; 3 bunches per flap)
  • Loop through spaces between stitches at the end of the flaps. There should be 4 strands for each bunch
  • Braid together and tie off at end.
  • Repeat for other side, taking care that both braids are the same length.

Pom-Pom (option for either hat)

  • Wrap yarn around 4 fingers 20 or 30 times (use more wraps for a fuller pom-pom)
  • Tie a length of yarn around the middle of the loops (leave extra for attaching)
  • Snip ends of loops.
  • Fluff pom-pom
  • Attach to top of hat

Ribbing (option for Beanie)

Add 3-4 rows (or more depending on desired length of hat). Crochet dc in each stitch, alternating front loops only and back loops only (i.e., all odd stitches front loop only, all even stitches back loop only). Join with slst between rounds. Fasten off and weave in ends.

A new year, a new endeavor!

Welcome to Those Yarn Hookers! I created this blog for several reasons. To have a place to post my crochet patterns for the world to see; a place to write my musings, share my favorite memes, and discuss yarning; but most of all, to share my love and passion for crochet! My Mom was an avid crocheter, among other things. She tried to teach me several times while I was growing up, but I never had that “aha!” moment, and could never do more than a chain. A few years ago, my husband was away from home (an out of town trip with friends that I couldn’t attend due to work, I think), and I was feeling extra depressed and missing my mom. Somehow, I had ended up at the Joann website, and was browsing crochet stuff. A few clicks later, I had some yarn, hooks, and a For Dummies (my favorite books for learning anything!) book ordered. A couple of weeks later, we were out for a yarning and coffee date with some friends, and it happened. The “aha!” moment where everything came together.

Now that it has been gifted, I can make this post. This is a compilation of the WIP photos that have been posted to the Facebook page. It was slow going at first. I did decide to make the starting chain with one hook bigger so that the chains would be loose enough to crochet into. With the thread and such tiny hooks, it was hard not making the stitches too tight. I did find early on that when doing DC's in the CH spaces, it was much easier to crochet around the CH space than in the CH stitches. Once I got through the bottom border knots, work picked up, and seemed to go much faster. Unfortunately, at this point, work was stalled by the sudden passing of my father, and a whirlwind trip to Omaha to spend some time with my brothers while we grieved and put everything in order. (Thankfully, there really wasn't much to do, despite Dad having no end of life planning, and my brothers had it pretty much done by the time I got there.) Once I got home, and recovered fro

Uh oh!

Unfortunately, the husband has to replace the ram in his computer, so the editing of the 1st video is taking longer than anticipated. :-( Hopefully, he'll get his system back up and running properly during the week, so he can resume editing.
