Hat with brim



Just happened by chance. Will try to write a pattern for the same... Few yarn was left over after making the baby set. So made this hat with brim. The top part is completely worked with dc. Brim with sc. Also added few hdc in between. Quiet happy with the final outcome.

Pattern:

Yarn: Worsted Weight Yarn(cotton)
Avoid soft yarns if you want the brim to stay well
Hook: I(5.5mm)

Top Round:

Round 1: Magic ring.  Ch2 (does not count as dc) 12 dc in ring. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (12 dc)
Round 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in each st. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (24 dc)
Round 3: Ch 2, (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) repeat around. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (36 dc)
Round 4: Ch 2, (dc in next 2 st, 2 dc in next) repeat around. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (48 dc)
Round 5: Ch 2, (dc in 3 st, 2 dc in next) repeat around. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (60 dc)
Rounds 6: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (60 sc)

If you want the hat to be bigger add one more dc increment & Sc round here.

Bottom:

Round 7: Ch 2, dc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (60 dc)
Rounds 8 : Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (60 sc)

Round 10-13: Ch2, hdc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first hdc. (60 dc)
Rounds 14: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first sc . Increment 6 sc around              in uniform manner(66 sc)
Rounds 15 : Repeat 14 without increments (66 sc)
Round 16: Ch 2, dc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first dc. (66 dc)
Rounds 17: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first sc (66 sc)
Rounds 18 : Repeat 17

Brim:

Round 19: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first sc . Increment 4 sc around in uniform manner(70 sc)
Round 20: Repeat 19, no increments (70sc)
Round 21: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch in first sc . Increment 10 sc around in uniform manner(80 sc)
Round 22: Repeat 21, no inrements (80 sc)

  5. what does increment 6 sc around in uniform manner mean? It looks like somehow it makes an eyelet.

    ReplyDelete
  6. does it mean increase 6 sc uniformly? I'm to that point and not sure what to do next.

  7. yes it just means to increase 6sc uniformly.. TO increase sc do 2 sc in same stitch. I don't think sc increment make eyelets for any reason. sorry for the late reply..

  11. I did this hat in 3 strands of baby yarn and found it a little soft, so I ripped back and eliminated the increases in two of the last rows. I did it in creamy off white and put a deep red ribbon around the base of the crown to adjust for size. Beautiful! Thanks.

  13. If you want the hat to be bigger add one more dc increment & Sc round here.
    Can you explain this a little more? I can't tell if after the sc round, I do another dc round and then another sc round - I don't know how many stitches that would be and I'd be off on the rest of the pattern stitch count and round count. Apologies for my newbie-ness and gratitude for any clarification. ;-) It looks so cute!

  17. I want to knit this hat for my sister who is undergoing chemotherapy. I've been knitting for a long time but I've only been crocheting recently. Can you tell me what a "magic circle" is and what you mean by "dc" ? Thanks!

    1. Nothing like google it.... Increments are inc = increases. Here are a couple of good answers to the math.
      Example 1: 1sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st all around the row.
      Example 2: 24 sc in the last round, increase to 30 sc in the next row. = 1 sc in the 3 sc, 2 sc in the next sc, all the way around the row.
      Example 3: 1 sc in the l st, 2 sc in the st, 1 in the next st, 2 in the next st=stitch. all the way around the row.

  21. Hello !

    I would like to know what kind of wool you used for that. I'm trying tu use a 100gr for 75m ball and it just doesn't seem right. And I don't really see how you can make 12 dc in a magic ring, aren't you supposed to take the fourth stitch of the chain to make dc ?
    I'm really sorry I'm a little confused, hope you understand my problem ><
    Thanks !
