If you wish to use this hat for a class, please pm me and I will give you a coupon code for a free copy and discounts for your students.

This simple hat is a great first project to get acquainted with a couple of different crochet stitches. It starts with single crochet and moves through half-double crochet and double crochet then on to a v-stitch, crocheting through the back loop only and finishes off with a post stitch. The bow is designed to practice decreasing as well as seaming.

With the exception of the v-stitch, I have not gone into how to make any of the stitches. For an explanation of the stitches please refer to The Nation NeedleArts Association: How to Crochet Book, www.craftyarncouncil.com, or New Stitch a Day on youtube.

This hat is also meant to work without too much emphasis on gauge. If you tend to crochet tight use a J hook whereas if you crochet loose an H, or if you are spot on an I, but don’t stress about it too much as it will work as a slouchy hat, a beanie or something in between.

Please do not sell my pattern but feel free to sell any projects made with my pattern and also feel free to use my pattern to teach someone else how to crochet!
