Essential Materials
-
Hat Base Yarn: Círculo Duna (a thicker cotton yarn to ensure the hat stays firm and holds its shape) [00:50].
-
Flower Appliqué Yarn: Círculo Anne in various vibrant colors (pink, purple, blue, yellow, etc.) [00:43].
-
Hooks: 3.0 mm hook for the hat base and a 2.0 mm hook for the delicate flowers [01:08].
-
Notions: Stitch marker, scissors, and fabric glue or a tapestry needle for attaching flowers [01:13].
Proper Step-by-Step Pattern
1. The Crown (Top Circle)
-
Start with 2 chains. Work 7 single crochets into the first chain to form a small circle [01:28].
-
Round 2: Work 2 single crochets in every stitch (14 stitches total) [04:35].
-
Round 3: [2 single crochets in one stitch, 1 single crochet in the next]. Repeat around [06:15].
-
Subsequent Rounds: Continue increasing the number of single stitches between your doubles (e.g., Round 4 has 2 single stitches between increases, Round 5 has 3, etc.) [11:12].
-
Finish after 17 rounds or when the circle measures approximately 18 cm [12:06].
2. The Body (Sides)
-
Round 1: Work one double crochet in every stitch around to begin the downward slope [12:51].
-
Round 2-11: Work one single crochet in every stitch around. Stop when the hat reaches the top of your ears (approx. 5 cm from the double crochet row) [16:14].
3. The Brim
-
Textured Row: Work blocks of 3 double crochets into one stitch, skip 2 stitches, and repeat [17:12].
-
Transition Row: Work one single crochet in every stitch around [20:34].
-
Increase Rows: Work two rounds of single crochet increases (one with 16 stitches between increases, the next with 17) to flare the brim [21:29].
-
Final Rows: Work 6–7 more rounds of plain single crochet to achieve the desired brim length [24:04].
4. Floral Appliqués
-
Flower Center: Chain 5, join with a slip stitch. Work 16 double crochets into the ring [26:26].
-
Petals: Join your petal color. [Chain 9, work 7 double crochets back down the chain, slip stitch into the center]. Repeat for 8 petals [28:06].
5. Assembly
-
Position the flowers on the top and sides of the hat. Use fabric glue or a needle to secure them firmly in place [33:00].
Special Features
-
Versatile Brim: You can wear the brim flipped up for a classic 90s look or down for maximum sun protection [00:20].
-
Structured Fit: The use of Duna yarn prevents the hat from flopping over the eyes, maintaining a crisp silhouette [01:03].
Level of Difficulty
This project is Easy to Intermediate. The hat base uses simple repetitive stitches, but managing the increases for a flat circle and the color changes for the flowers requires basic crochet knowledge.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Use a thicker yarn like Duna for the base; using a thinner yarn like Anne for the whole hat takes much longer and lacks the necessary rigidity [00:56].
-
Always use a stitch marker because “infinite” spiral rounds are very easy to lose track of [05:10].
Conclusion
Once you glue the final flower, allow the hat to dry completely before wearing it. This project quickly transforms simple yarn into a high-fashion accessory that defines summer style.
Expert Tip: If your stitch count doesn’t align perfectly at the end of a round, perform a “gambiarra” (quick fix) by skipping an extra stitch or adding one; in circular crochet, these small adjustments disappear once the project is finished [18:44].
