Snowy Mountains Hat Pattern
This hat represents both warmth and comfort for the coldest of days.
A stylish hat, yet simply made with the most common crochet st's.
The technique is called mosaic crochet, it's enough to scare the
most seasoned crocheters away, but don't let the name "mosaic"
scare you off as you have most definitely used this technique
without even realizing it
This hat can be made in many sizes, from new born to large adult using a stitch count in multiples of 8.
You can also use a thicker yarn and larger hook.
Once the band has been made and joined for the size of your hat, the 1st row of the body of your hat will be adjusted for the pattern stitch count
Written in US terms.
Suggested Materials needed:
10 ply/Aran/Worsted
5mm
Stitches used:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
bl = back loop
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet (all dc's will be worked into the front loop of 2 rows below)
dec = decrease
inc = increase
Special Stitches:
dc in the front loop of 2 rows below
(when you do this, you will skip over the st that now sits behind the dc
you just made, we don't want to make extra st's)
To Begin:
Make the band/brim
Ch 9
Row 1. work 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 1 and turn (8sc)
Row 2. work 1 sc into the back loop of each sc, ch 1 and turn (8sc)
continue working row 2 until you have 57 rows, once the band is joined with a row of sl st's, you will have 58 rows.
Join band into a circle.
Leave yarn attached, ch 1 and sl st to
join using the back loops of the last row made and the unworked loops of
the beginning chain row.
TIP: Do not join too tight as it may pucker.
Video Instructions For The Band Of The Hat
This is the pattern grid we are using
Set up round (inc this round by 6 more st's any where in the round)
Ch 1, work 1 hdc in each st to end, sl st to join round. 64 st's
(begin working grid pattern) all st's are now worked into the back loop only (use the 2nd loop and not the 3rd loop of the hdc of the last round)
Round 1. (Using contrast Color): Ch 1, work 1 bl sc in each st of the round, sl st to join and change color to main color
Round 2. Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in the next 2 st's, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next st* repeat from *to* to end, sl st to join and change color
Round 3. Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in the next st, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next st, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below* repeat from *to* to end, sl st to join and change color
Round 4. Ch 1,*work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in each of the next 3 st's* repeat from *to* to end, sl st to join and change color
Round 5. Ch 1, Ch 1, work 1 bl sc in each st of the round, sl st to join and change color
Round 6. repeat round 4, sl st to join and change color
Round 7. repeat round 3, sl st to join and change color
Round 8. repeat round 2, sl st to join, do not change color, remain with main color.
This completes the first pattern grid.
Begin second pattern grid.
Round 1. (Using Main Color) Ch 1, work 1 bl sc in each st of the round, sl st to join and change color
Round 2. Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in each of the next 3 st's, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in each of the next 4 st's* repeat from *to* to end sl st to join and change color
Round 3. Ch 1, *work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in each of the next 5 st's, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next st* repeat from *to* to end sl st to join and change color
Round 4. Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in the next st, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in each of the next 3 st's, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next 2 st's* repeat from *to* to end sl st to join and change color
Round 5. Ch 1, *work 1 bl sc in each of the next 2 st's, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in the next st, work 1 dc into the front loop of the st 2 rows below, work 1 bl sc in each of the next 3 st's* repeat from *to* to end sl st to join and change color
Round 6. repeat round 4, sl st to join and change color
Round 7. repeat round 3, sl st to join and change color
Round 8, repeat round 2, sl st to join, and change color, you will now have main color.
