It's A Goal, Crochet Net Ball Hat

My step daughter Bek asked me to make her a hat in the form of a netball. My answer was, that I would have to do some research and see what I can come up with.

I haven't touched a netball in years so I scanned the internet for netball images as part of my research.

And here is the design I came up with.

A netball shot for a goal.

Below is an image I used to assist with the black lines of the ball. Netball twirling.

This little charm really gave me the idea for the look of the hat.

I had some yarn that was close to a netball color.

I gave the hat a ribbed cuff.

More detailed instructions at the bottom of the post

I used a 4.00mm hook

8 ply yarn.

1 50gm ball of orange, small amount of black and white.

I began with 12 dc in a ring and incresed in each round with the formula below.
12=24=36=48=60=72
I then worked 6 rows around in dc with out increasing.
I changed to black yarn for the ribbed cuff and alternated fpdc, bpdc for 3 rounds, then finished the hat.
fpdc= front post double crochet
bpdc= back post double crochet

Using the picture of the netball twirling I began to sew the lines into the hat.

Not a perfect job, but close enough, my sewing skills are limited.

I had some thick white medium for the hoop of the goal.

Or you could crochet a white, single crochet foundation chain that fits around the hat.

I attached the white yarn to the hoop with a slip st.
Chained 8, sc around the hoop, chained 8 sc around the hoop repeated this in an even manner and joining to the beginning sl st, about 16 ch 8 loops in total.
I then sl st to the centre of the first ch 8,
ch 8, sc into the 4th chain of the next ch 8, continuing around to where I first sl st into the ch 8.
I did 2 more rows of the chain and finished off the goal netting.

Wear the net on, or wear the net off, it's up to you, but I know that my step daughter will be wearing this hat whilst playing netball and the net may get into her way.

You can always sew it on if you like.

To make the basic hat.
