Intermediate Crochet Hat (Various Sizes) (Sat, Oct 25 & Nov 1; 10-12)

La Vie en Rose

Hat with Ear Flaps

kirstenhhollowaydesigns.com

This hat pattern comes in several sizes: baby, child, adult.

Be sure to measure the person's head. 

I used Mecha MC 658 Zinnias yarn, approximately 95 yards size H hook. Hat measured 7” wide, will fit 0-3 month baby. I would recommend crocheting with 2 strands of this thinner yarn.

Approximate size and measurements

The yarn used for these measurements is Red Heart worsted weight.

The hat is laid flat for width measurement, and does not include ear flaps.

Instructions: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop.
