Hat Not Hate is a project that means a lot to me. I have loads of respect for the team organizing this and bringing awareness to such a meaningful cause. I want to do my part to support them as best I can so here is a quick pattern so you too can participate!
I promise you that this is the easiest hat you will ever make. Here we go!
Materials:
- U.S. size 3.50mm hook
- 1 Skein Fine Weight Baby Yarn – I used this one
- Measuring tape
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- You can find all of these goodies at partners…
Sizing:
Unstretched & before brim is folded up 10″wide x 15″long
Abbreviations:
ch= chain
sts= stitches
BLO = back loop only
HDC: Half double crochet
Pattern Notes:
This pattern creates a simple ribbed rectangle that we will then sew together to shape into a beanie. You can adjust the sizing of the had by increasing/decreasing the initial ch to aline with the sizing dimensions below.
We’ve written the pattern to fit to Child – Teen/Small Adult. The ribbing allows for the sizing to flex fairly easily between sizing.
Pattern:
Ch 51
row 1. HDC in 2nd ch from hook across, ch 1, turn (50 hdc)
row 2. HDC in (BLO) in each hdc across, ch 1, turn (50 hdc)
Repeat row 2 until length, laid flat (no not stretch) measures 15in.
Assembly:
Step 1: Fold the rectangle in half, sew along both edges to form a tube.
Step 2: Weave yarn through the very top edge. Pull tight to close up the top of the hat.
Step 3. Fold up brim of the hat.
Here’s a quick video that walks you through it!
