These are two photos with very different lighting of the same hat.
It is assumed the crocheter is familiar with front-post and back-post stitches, as well as crochet in the round.
This hat begins with the first 6 rounds of my ribbed hat pattern, found here [link to pattern, with video tutorial].
- Ch 4, slip stitch to make a ring. Ch 3 (counts as a DC), work 11 more DCs in the center of the ring. Slip stitch to join (SSTJ). (12)
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), [FPDC around the initial ch st from 1st round; DC in top of next st, FPDC around post of the same st.] repeat bracketed instructions for each stitch. Join to ch 3 with a SS behind the ch. (24)
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st FPDC), DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC around post of same st; [FPDC in next st, DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC around post of same st] repeat brackted instructions until end of round. SS behind the initial ch 3 to join.(36--FPDC + DC + FPDC for each of the first round DCs)
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st FPDC), DC in top of next DC, DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC around post of same st; [FPDC in next FPDC, DC in next st, DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC around post of same st] repeat bracketed instructions until end of round. SS behind the initial ch 3 to join. (48--FPDC + 2 DC + FPDC for each of the first round DCs)
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st FPDC), DC in top of next DC, FPDC in next DC, DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC around post of same st; [FPDC in top of next FPDC, DC in next st, FPDC in next DC DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC around post of same st] repeat bracketed instructions until end of round. SS in top of ch 3 to join. (60--FPDC + DC + FPDC+ DC + FPDC for each of the first round DCs)
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), FPDC around ch 3 below, DC in next DC, FPDC in next FPDC, DC in next DC, FPDC in next FPDC; [DC in top of next FPDC, FPDC in same FPDC, DC in next DC, FPDC in next FPDC, DC in next DC, FPDC in next FPDC] repeat to end of round. (72--DC + FPDC + DC + FPDC+ DC + FPDC for each of the first round DCs)
End of increase/beginning of side - Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), DC in each st from row 6. SSTJ. It is very easy to accidentally add or remove stitches in this row. Count carefully.
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), DC in next 2 DC, FPDC in next 9 DC; [DC in next 3 st, FPDC in next 9 st] repeat to end of round. SSTJ The same advisory from row 7 applies. If the count is off at the end of the round, find the error and fix it.
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), DC in next 2 DC, sk 3, FPTC in next 3 FPDC, FPTC in the 3 skipped FPTC working behind the 3 FPTC just worked, DC in next 3 FPDC; [DC in next 3 DC, sk 3, FPTC in next 3 FPDC, FPTC in the 3 skipped FPTC working behind the 3 FPTC just worked, DC in next 3 FPDC] repeat to end of round. SSTJ
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), DC in next 2 DC, FPDC in next 9 stitches, being sure to catch all of them; [DC in next 3 DC, FPDC in next 9 stitches, being sure to catch all of them] repeat to end of round, SSTJ
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st DC), DC in next 2 DC, DC in next 3 FPDC, sk 3, FPTC in next 3 FPDC, FPTC in the 3 skipped FPTC working in front of the 3 FPTC just worked, ; [DC in next 3 DC, sk 3, FPTC in next 3 FPDC, FPTC in the 3 skipped FPTC working behind the 3 FPTC just worked, DC in next 3 FPDC] repeat to end of round. SSTJ
- Repeat row 10.
- Repeat rows 8 - 12.
Turn-up brim - Turn work; SS behind the ch 3 below, ch 3 (counts as a FPDC); FPDC in every st to end of round. SS behind the initial ch 3 to join.
- Ch 3 (counts as 1st FPDC), FPDC in each FPDC below. SS behind the initial ch 3 to join.
- Repeat step 15 if desired. Tie off.
Alternate edging - Work 2 or rows of SC in every stitch. Tie off.
Sew in loose ends. Bribe someone to pose for Instagram photos.
