Dot Matthews, 04/02/04

I used an H hook and WW yarn. And 2 Small rubber bands

Rnd 1) make 18 sc around a rubber band, join in back loop of first sc.

NOTE: beginning ch 3 counts as 1st dc.

Rnd 2) working in back loop only for this round, ch 3, 1 dc in same space as join, 2 dc in each st, around, join (total sts = 36)

Rnd 3) ch 3, dc in same space as join, (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) repeat around, join
(total sts = 54)

picture shows first 3 rounds.

Rnd 4 - 8 ) ch 3, dc in each st.around, join (total sts for each round = 54)

Rnd 9 - 13) ch 1, sc in each st around, join

Rnd 14) ch 2, sl st in next st, * ch 2, sk next st, sl st in next st* repeat from * around, join
Fasten off and weave in ends.

pictures before adding poof on top


POOF at the top of the hat:

These stitches are worked in the unworked loops of round one.

Attach yarn in any unworked loop of round one.

picture shows where to attach yarn for the poof.

(Ch 10, sl st in same stitch) 3 times

sl st in next st, (ch 10, sl st in same stitch) 3 times. Continue around, having 3 ch 10’s and 4 sl sts in each stitch.

If you want a fuller “poof” do 4 chain 10’s instead of 3 in each stitch. If you want a bigger “poof”, chain 15 or 20 instead of 10.

07/02/04 This pattern has now been tested and corrections have been made in blue. I want to thank CatBookMom, aka Barbara, who took the time to identify the errors and email me with suggestions for corrections. Thank you so much Barbara, I appreciate your help.

This is my original pattern, I labored over every stitch, and wrote it all down as I went. I frogged it so many times I nearly wore out the yarn. That being said, please feel free to use this pattern in any way you want. I only ask that you give me credit (or blame me) for writing it, and pictures would be nice if you want to share.

Materials: I used ww cotton and a K hook.
Hat is worked holding 3 strands together.
Ch 3 counts as 1st st on every row.  Do not turn rows unless instructed to do so.

ROW 1: Ch 4, 11 dc in 1st ch, join in top of beg ch. (12 sts)

ROW 2: Ch 3, dc in same space as joining, 2 dc in ea st around. Join in top of beg ch. (24 sts.)

ROW 3: Ch 3, dc in same st as joining. (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st)around. Join in top of beg ch. (36 sts)

ROW 4: Ch 3, dc in same st as joining, (dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st) around, join in top of beg ch. (48 sts)

ROW 5: Ch 3, dc in st to the right of the join (that's in the last dc of the previous row) sk next dc, dc in next st, dc in skipped st (that's the stitch you just skipped NOTE: this forms a crossed dc ), now working forward again, sk next dc, dc in next st, dc in skipped st around. Join in top of beg ch 3 (24 crossed stitch groups)

ROW 6: Repeat row 5

Row 7: Repeat row 5

Row 8: Ch 2 (counts as 1st Hdc), Hdc in ea st around. Join in top of beg ch 2(48 sts)

Working in back loop only
Row 9: ch 1, turn. Work in back loop only, (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st) repeat around. Join in 1st sc. turn (72 sts)

Row 10: (do not ch 1) work in back loop, only sl st in next 21 sts
Now, work in both loops, sc in next 5 sts, hdc in next 20 sts, sc in next 5 sts,
Now work in back loops only, sl st in next 21 sts around. Do not join, and do not turn. Mark beginning st with contrasting yarn or a stitch marker. (72 sts)
