The Jasmin Hat

by | Jan 11, 2019 | Crochet, Free Patterns

It is a cold day up here in the north, so we are bundling up and staying inside. Seems fitting that I have a winter hat pattern to share with you.

 

The Jasmin hat is created with bulky weight yarn and a tight texture, making this a beautiful hat that still provides warmth. I added a strand of KnitPicks Curio lace weight yarn to it to it match the pompom. This does not really add to the weight so you can choose to do this for an interesting effect, or not. 🙂 Little Miss Z. loves her hat, wears it at all temperatures and gets lots of compliments for it.

 

So, here goes:

 

 

 

Sizes:

Toddler (18-19” head circumference)

Child (20-21” head circumference)

Adult (22-23” head circumference)

Gauge: 7rows/5sts in 2” of the body

Materials:

  • Bulky yarn, I used KnitPicks Brava in color Cobblestone Heather (1, 1, 2) balls
  • 6mm , 7mm hooks

 

Abbreviations:

Ch – Chain

St – Stitch

Hdc – Half Double Crochet

Slst – Slip Stitch

Blo – Back Loop Only

Hdc2tog – Half Double Crochet 2 Together

Slst2tog – Slip Stitch 2 Together

 

Slst2tog: put hook into the front loop of next 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through both loops and loop on hook. (If you have another way of doing it, go for it. This is what I did)

 

Notes:

  •  This hat is designed for a fitted look. If you would like a slouchy hat, repeat rows in pattern where indicated (*)
  • When doing slst, remember to do so loosely, it is easy to make them too tight
  • When crocheting the body, make sure you put hdc into hdc and slst into slst always
  • Except when decreasing. When you (hdc2tog), you will join a hdc and a slst into one hdc; when you (slst2tog), you will join a slst and a hdc into one slst.
  • Always join into first stitch of the row
  • This hat is NOT crocheted in rows, please remember to turn after each row.

 

Instructions:

Band:

With smaller hook, ch 5, 6, 8

  1. Sc in second chain and each ch across.
  2. Ch1, turn, sc in first st, sc in BLO of next (2, 3, 5) sts, sc in last

Rep. row 2 until you have (56, 64, 72) rows.

 

Fold band in half and join last crocheted row to base row by slst the front loops to base chain across. Turn band right side out so you work on the outside of the hat.

     

 

Body:

Switch to bigger hook.

 

 

 

 

Ch1, sc into each row of the band. Join (56, 64, 72 sts) (put a stitch marker into the first stitch of each row from now on)

  1. Ch1, turn (slst into next st, hdc into next st) repeat around, join
  2. Ch1, turn (hdc into next st, slst into next st) repeat around, join

NOTE: you have to make sure that you put hdc into hdc and slst into slst!

Repeat rows 2-3 (5, 6, 7) times, repeat row 2 one more time. Hat including band should be about (4.5- 5”, 5.5-6”, 6.5-7”) long. *If you want more slouch, keep repeating rows 2+3 a couple more times, but be sure to end on a row 2.

 

Decrease:

  1. Ch1, turn, slst in first st, (hdc2tog, slst2tog, hdc, slst, hdc, slst) 6, 7, 8 times, hdc2tog, slst2tog, hdc, slst, hdc, join (42, 48, 54)
  2. Repeat row 3 of the body
  3. Ch1, turn, slst in first st, (hdc2tog, slst2tog, hdc, slst) 6, 7, 8 times, hdc2tog, slst2tog, hdc (28, 32, 36)
  4. Rep row 3 of the body
  5. Ch1, turn, (hdc2tog, slst2tog) 7, 8, 9 times (14, 16, 18)

Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Weave yarn through the last worked row and pull to close hole. Attach pompom.

 

You’re done 🙂
