We crochet the hat from the bottom, means we start at the cuff.
Cast on 11 chain (for a wider cuff just crochet some more chains), in the 2nd Stitch from hook and all following crochet each 1 slst, turn
*1CH, in each Stitch of the Row each 1 slst – work into the back loop only. turn*
You get a rib pattern. Repeat from * to * till you have the needed circumference (length).
As soon you reached the length (circumference) that you need, crochet or sew the ends together.
I always recommend to crochet the cuff 2-3 cm smaller then needed as the yarn usually will expand.
Crochet around the border with SC.
Now work ahead in rounds. Every Round will start with 1 or 3 CH and end with a slst.
1.Round
1CH, in each stitch of the round before 1 SC. Finish the round with 1 slst. Turn
2. Round
1CH, in each stitch of the round before 1 SC. Finish the round with 1 slst. turn
3. Round
1CH, in each stitch of the round before 1 SC. Finish the round with 1 slst. turn
4. Round
1CH, in each stitch of the round before 1 SC. Finish the round with 1 slst. turn
5. Round
1CH, in each stitch of the round before 1 SC. Finish the round with 1 slst. turn
6. Round
Cast on 3 CH and crochet those together with 2 DC, 1CH, skip 1 Stitch,*in the next ST DC3tog, 1CH, skip 1 Stitch, *
Repeat from * to * till end of the round. Finish the round with a slst. turn
So you crochet DC together:
2CH,* yarn over the hook and go into the same Stitch, get the yarn thru.
Again yarn over and pull it thru 2 loops. Now you have 2 loops on the hook.
Once more yarn over and got into the same stitch, get the yarn thru.
Again yarn over and pull it thru 2 loops. Now you have 3 loops on the hook
Yarn over and pull it thru 3 loops*
1CH, skip 1 Stitch, yarn over and go into the next stitch, get the yarn thru. Then again yarn over and pull it thru 2 loops.
Start over at the *.
You can repeat all rounds 1 to 6 as often as you need to reach the length you like/need.
Last Round
1CH,*each 1 SC in the next 3 Stitches, 2 CH, skip 1 SC *
Repeat from * to * till end of round.
Crochet a chain of chains, turn the hat inside out and place the chain between the last round and the round before the last round, pull it together and make a knot
Turn the Hat back from inside out.
Done! You can also wear the hat as scarf.
