WORK ENTIRE PATTERN HOLDING 2 STRANDS TOGETHER

ROUND 1: ch 2, 8 sc in first ch. do not join (8 sc)

ROUND 2: 2 sc in ea st around. (16 sc) place a marker in first st for row count. Move marker up in ea round.

ROUND 4: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. (32 sc)

ROUND 5: *1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st. Repeat from * around. (40 sc)

ROUND 6: * 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 sts. Repeat from * around. (48 sc)

ROUND 7: 1 sc in ea st around. (48 sc)

ROUND 8: * 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 5 sts. Repeat from * around. (56 sc)

ROUND 14: ch 2, *cbs, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join in the first ch-1 space of the round. (36 cbs)

[Start the first cbs in the same st as the join. The next cbs always starts in the same stitch (or space) where the previous cbs ended.The final cbs of the round ends in the same stitch as the first cbs of the round.]

ROUNDS 15 thru 17 are worked in ch-1 spaces of previous rounds.

ROUND 15 thru 17: ch 2, *cbs, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join in first ch-1 space of round for rounds 15 and 16. Join in the top of the first cbs for round 17. (36 cbs)

Tip: when you come to the stitch with the chain 2, place your stitch between the chain 2 and the first cbs stitch, then complete the stitch you're working on. This will hide the chain 2.

Reverse hdc = yo, insert hook in next st to the right, yo, pull up a loop, (3 loops on hook) yo, pull thru all 3 loops.

Tip: Reverse hdc is very awkward, but it gets easier as you do it.

Fasten off and weave in ends

Embelish with the White Twinkle Choker, just make the straps long enough to tie in back and hang down.

	Alice July 27, 2006 02:35 PM PDT Dot, Im so sad!!! I fell in love with your western style hat and used red heart super saver color of my choice. I finished it and could get a little "character" out of the brim but it left alot to be sesired. I thought maybe if I thew it into the washer and dryer it may re whatever the yarn and maybe that would be my answer. What I seem to have is a pill box type hat with a very floppy unmanageable brim. Any suggestins to lift my heart? Since I am very new to rhd crochet maybe this is my issue but I am so discouraged.


	Mindy January 15, 2006 07:13 PM PST Hi Dot, Your creations are so very unique! Thank you. I'm stuck on the Crossed bar stitch in the Giddy Up hat. At the end of Round 17, I've ended up with way over 100 stitches and obviously am doing something wrong. Here's my question: If the CBS is completed using 2 stitches, then you chain one and start the next CBS in the same stitch as the last stich you left off on, then isn't that why I've ended up with so many stitches? I am wondering if I should be skipping a space, i.e., YO, insert and pull up 3 on hook, YO, insert in next stitch and pull up, totaling 5 on the hook, then YO and draw thru all 5 loops on hook, chain 1, skip next stitch, do CBS in next stitch? I've searched all over the internet for further CBS instructions and can find none. The website you refer to is not in service anymore. Where is a good website where one can find how to's on many unique stitches? Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks, Mindy

	Diane B December 3, 2005 04:11 PM PST Dotty I love ya girlie. I have been looking for a pattern with this shaped hat for about 5 years. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!


	Dot October 4, 2005 01:38 PM PDT Hi Kathy, I'm glad you like my patterns. I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about when you say an "adult egyptian hat" it sounds intriguing.


	Kathy October 4, 2005 01:11 PM PDT Dot I really like your work. You have an excellent skill in making patterns and projects right from your head, I specially like the hgiddy-up hats.But I was wondering is there anyway you could make a real looking adult egyptian hat? I seen one on beanie-babies but not an adult one,and no body has a free pattern, right nowKeep up the great work. irishsilverwing@yahoo.com


	Dot June 29, 2005 12:00 AM PDT Hi Nancy, I bet you'll look fabulous wearing your new hat! Sorry to hear of your illness. I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery.


	Nancy June 28, 2005 10:28 PM PDT Hi...I found your pattern today, and I can't wait to make one of these hats! I am undergoing chemo and I anticipate my hair will be leaving me in the next couple of days. Oh well, I will have a fabulous cowboy hat to wear!! Thanks!!


	Dot May 16, 2005 06:35 PM PDT Hi Ccpost, Good, I'm glad it works, I hate when a pattern is written so vaguely that it's hard to figure out what to do next. Thank you again for bringing this to my attention. I'll be able to fix it and save some future crocheters from pulling out their hair and cussing at me. lol You're welcome, I do enjoy sharing my patterns.


	Ccpost May 16, 2005 12:08 PM PDT Hello...thanks...that does work out right now, lol...while I was waiting, I actually did try that, and so I was hoping that that was what I was supposed to do, and it was, so that was nice...lol...I have a couple other patterns printed out so I can try them, and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all your patterns with everyone. I have 4 children, 3 of which are 4 yrs and under, so I do a lot of watching them and sitting with them while they play...so in between, I crotchet. Thanks again, and yes it is working. Ccpost


	Dot May 16, 2005 11:11 AM PDT CCPost, I left out the chain 1 that should follow the "pull thru all 5 loops on hook".


	Dot May 16, 2005 11:08 AM PDT Hi CCPost, I'm flattered you like my patterns enough to keep doing them. I'm sorry the instructions for the CBS rounds are so vague. I'll re-write them to try to make it clear what to do. In the mean time, try this: yo, insert hook in same st as join, yo, pull yarn through st (3 loops on hook), skip the next st, yo, insert hook in st after skipped st, yo, pull yarn through st (5 loops on hook), yo pull yarn through all 5 loops on hook. Join the round in the first CH-1 SPACE of the round. For following rounds, yo, insert hook in same SPACE as join, yo, pull yarn through SPACE (3 loops on hook), skip the next st, yo, insert hook in SPACE after skipped st, yo, pull yarn through SPACE (5 loops on hook), yo pull yarn through all 5 loops on hook. Join the round in the first CH-1 SPACE of the round. I hope this helps, if not, let me know and I'll try it again. I'd love to know how your hat turns out. I'm glad you brought this to my attention so I can clarify the instructions. Thank you.


	Ccpost May 16, 2005 10:34 AM PDT Hi Dot, I have made two Honeycomb hats, and four of the Sassy hats, and I am attempting the Giddyup-Go one now....I am stuck on the cbs now, I understand how to do the stitch, but coming up with twice the amount indicated... which spaces am I supposed to be going into....I do have the 72 sc, and have chained 2, now where do I go...like I said, I am coming up with like 72 cbs's rather than 36....help please.... Ccpost


	Dot May 1, 2005 06:22 PM PDT Hi Gracie, I'm excited for you too. I'm glad you found my site and I hope you enjoy the patterns.


	NameGracie May 1, 2005 05:57 PM PDT I have been looking for a hat just like this. I am going to try making it. I am so excited that I have found you.


	Dot April 24, 2005 02:20 PM PDT Thank you Louise. If you use the smaller yarns and a smaller hook, it would turn out the same, but, I don't know if it would hold its shape. You need a stiffer yarn to hold the shape. If you do try it, I'd love to hear how it turns out.


	Louise April 24, 2005 01:04 PM PDT I love the hat and would like to make a chid size version,if I use sport or baby yarn would it come out the same?


	Dot April 11, 2005 06:10 PM PDT Hi Diana, Glad you like the hats. I try to keep my patterns a little on the unusual side. I got tired of making the same "skully" over and over again. Enjoy the pattern and share a picture if you can, I'd love to see your finished project.


	Diana Anderson April 11, 2005 04:03 PM PDT Hi Dot-Your patterns are wonderful. I have been wanting to make a different hat and yours sure are. I am going to make the western hat for my daughter. I am sure she will LOVE it. Thanks for sharing.


	Dot April 7, 2005 04:14 PM PDT You're welcome, Lora. You're friend will be so excited when she sees what you've made for her. I can't wait to see pictures.


	Lora April 7, 2005 03:47 PM PDT Hi Dot Thank you so much for the patterns. I have a friend who joined the RED HAT Society I'm going to make this for her birthday. I'll send you a picture of it when I get it done. Thanks Again Lora
