The "Slip n Slide" Crochet Hat Pattern

Cathy Wood





The "Slip n Slide" hat pattern is very decorative and repetitive to make. It has a pattern stitch count of 6 and can be made in many sizes. I would also class this hat as a unisex design, the yarn color that you use will determine your choice for a male or females hat. The construction of the pattern is made up of a shell which is 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc. After the set up round, you will continue with the shells that have a cluster in between each shell, that cluster is made with the 3 dc's of one half of the shell and 3 dc's of the other half of the next set of shells. This stitch pattern is easily compared to the chevron/zigzag crochet patterns.
If you would like to print this pattern, scroll down to the bottom of the page then copy the pattern and paste to a word document.

The hat begins at the bottom, which is made in a strip, then joined to form a circle.

This hat can be made in many sizes, from new born to large adult using a stitch count in multiples of 6.
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 and 2nd rows of the body of your hat will be adjusted for the pattern stitch count.

All the cluster stitches are made by going into the st from the back to the front (back post dc).
You will, yo hook insert hook from the back to the front and draw up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops (2 loops on hook), repeat for the next 5 dc's, you will have 7 loops on your hook, yo and pull through all loops, cluster made.

The band will need to be a Few rows shorter than the pattern stitch count as the band will need to stretch.

Last row of the band and joining the band video. 

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.

The first row around the hat edge and where to place your stitches

Once your band is joined continue with the first round of st's, the above video will assist you in st placement.



Round 1: Ch 1, work 1 hdc in each row end to end, sl st to join round.
Make your increases or decreases evenly in round 2

Round 2: Ch 1, work 1 hdc in the back loop of each hdc or the round, sl st to join round. (your count should be in multiples of 6)

Pattern Set Up Round 3

Pattern Set Up Round:
Round 3: Ch 3, work 2 dc, ch 3 and 3 dc in same st of the ch 3, skip 2 st's, work 1 sc in next st, *skip 2 st's, work the shell st in next st, skip 2 st's, work 1 sc in next st, skip 2 st's* repeat from *to* to end of round. Join all pattern rows like this, loosely sl st into the next 3 st's and into the ch 3 space.


Pattern Round 4. Part 1  Cluster st Explained


Pattern Round:
Round 4: Ch 3, work 2 dc, ch 3 and 3 dc in same st of the ch 3, *work (Special Stitch, Cluster) the bpdc cluster with the next 6 dc's, work the shell st in the ch 3 space* repeat from *to* to end of round, join round.
Pattern Round 4. Part 2
Rounds 5 and on, repeat Round 4 until the height of your hat almost reaches your crown. Do not sl st to the ch 3 space, make the sl st into the top of the ch 3.
The next rounds made, will give the hat a straight edge again.
Making the crown:
Round 1:
 
 Round 1: ch 1, work a hdc in the top of the ch 3, work 1 hdc in the next dc, hdc the next dc and the ch 3 space of the shell together, work 1 hdc in each of the next 2 dc, hdc the next dc and the top of the cluster together, (you will have made 6 hdc's) *work 1 hdc into each of the next 2 dc, hdc the next dc and the ch 3 space of the shell together, work 1 hdc in each of the next 2 dc, hdc the next dc and the top of the cluster together* repeat from *to* to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st. (your stitch count will be in multiples of 6)
Round 2: 
Round 2: ch 1, (work all st's in to the back loop of the hdc's) work 1 hdc in the back loop of each hdc of the round, to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st.
Begin decreases: For a baby, toddler hat complete the crown with the hdc st, for adult sizes complete the crown with the dc st.
For the purpose of this pattern, I will write the hdc st, please adjust this to a dc for the adult size hats and work a ch 2 at the beginning of the round, but do not count that ch 2 as a stitch.

Round 3: ch 1, *work 1 hdc in the next 4 st's, hdc the next 2 st's tog* (decrease made) repeat from *to* to end of round,

to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st.

Round 4: ch 1, *work 1 hdc in the next 3 st's, hdc the next 2 st's tog* (decrease made) repeat from *to* to end of round,
to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st.

Round 5: ch 1, *work 1 hdc in the next 2 st's, hdc the next 2 st's tog* (decrease made) repeat from *to* to end of round,
to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st.
TIP: If you want a messy bun hat, finish off your hat here or the next round.
Round 6: ch 1, *work 1 hdc into the next st, hdc the next 2 st's tog* (decrease made) repeat from *to* to end of round,
to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st.
Round 7: ch 1, *hdc the next 2 st's tog* (decrease made) repeat from *to* to end of round, to join, sl st into the top of the beginning hdc st. Break off yarn leaving a long tail to sew the remaining hole of the crown closed and weave in ends.
