I and G hook
ww yarn - not sure of amount, my finished hat weighs 5 oz
This hat is fairly large and it "grows" as you are making it. You might want to take this into consideration and adjust your hook sizes to suit your own needs.
HAT
Ch 4, join
Row 1: Ch 1, 12 sc in ring. Do not join, use marker to show beginning of rows.
Work in back loop only on rows 2 through 25, leaving the front loop free to use later in the pattern.
Row 2: 2 sc in each st around.
Row 3: (1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around
Row 4: (1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around
Row 5: (1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) around
Row 6: 1 sc in each st around
Row 7: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 sts) around
Row 8: 1 sc in each st around
Row 9: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 5 sts) around
Row 10: 1 sc in each st around
Row 11: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 6 sts) around
Row 12 - 25: 1 sc in each st around
CHAIN LOOPS (the chain loops are placed in the unworked loops of the sc stitches)
Ch 1, turn, sl st in free loop of last sc made, ch 10, sl st in same loop.
Sl st in free loop of next st, ch 10, sl st in same st. continue for 10 rounds or until it is as "fluffy" as you want it. fasten off and weave in ends.

Hi Sharon. Your idea for a scarf from this pattern sounds very interesting. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck with your project. I'm glad you find my patterns easy to follow. I try to make them easy enough so anyone can follow them. Happy holidays. |
