Did you love Netflix’s new rom com series Dash & Lily as much as I did? This hat is based on the red and green Christmas hat worn by Lily on the show. I think the hat on the show was knit, but this pattern is for a crochet version. You can use any two worsted weight colors to make this hat. Choose red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, or the colors of your favorite sports team! The two yarns held together give this hat a great cozy “squish” and a thickness and warmth similar to a hat made with bulky weight yarn.

This hat is easily adjustable. Add more chains at the beginning for a wider brim, slouchier hat, or larger head. Reduce the number of chains at the beginning for a thinner brim, no brim at all, or smaller head. I’ve included both an Adult and a Child size in my pattern. This pattern is suitable for a Beginner crocheter.

Materials:

  • Worsted Weight Yarn – You can use any two worsted weight yarns for this hat. For my Christmas version I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Premium in colors Garnet and Ivy. You will need less than one skein of each color. For the Adult Size, you will need approximately 143 yards of each color or 286 yards total or about 65 grams of yarn for each color or 130 grams total. For the Child Size, you will need approximately 125 yards of each color or 250 yards total or about 57 grams of yarn for each color or 114 grams total.
  • 8 mm Crochet Hook
  • Yarn Needle to Weave in Ends
  • 85 mm Pom Pom Maker – I used a pom pom maker from Clover. You can also make your own using cardboard or buy a pre-made pom pom. You can make your pom larger or smaller by using a different size pom pom maker.

Stitches and Abbreviations Used:
• Ch – chain
• SS – slip stitch
• SC – single crochet
• HDC – half double crochet
• BLO – back loop only
