Cheri Hat

This is a hat I crocheted as I went along then made a few more because I liked it so much. I

named it after my sister because the pictures of my little girl in the hat reminded me of Cheri

when she was a baby.

Ive had many requests for this pattern so I took a stab at writing it out. I know very little about

crochet and even less how to write a crochet pattern so please bear with me. Please feel free to e-

mail me with questions or suggestions for improvement peachykkg@gmail.com.

Edit 2/14/11: I re-wrote the crown increase steps to make them clearer. You are increasing at a

slower rate each round. The hat is worked in a spiral, but you can definitely join each round witha slip stitch and ch2 before the next round if you prefer.

Abbreviations: ch = chainsc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

sc2tog = single crochet twotogether

hdc = half double crochet

Sizes:

Small: 0-6 months, 15 circumference

Medium: 6-12 months, 17 circumferenceLarge: 12-24 months, 19 circumference

Circumference is approximate. The largersizes will stretch more but there is not muchgive on this hat.

Yarn: 1 ball Lily Sugar n Cream 100%

cotton (you might be able to get two smallhats out of one ball but the larger hats use

just over half)

Small amount contrasting color for flower

Hook: G (4.0mm)

H (5.0 mm)

Gauge: I dont know how to measure this

exactly but I think I get about 3.5 dc per

inch in the round

Pattern:Worked in the round1. Ch 5 and join with slip stitch to create circle2. Ch2, dc 10 times in circle (place marker for

beginning of round if necessary)

3. dc twice in each stitch around (20)

4. [dc 1, dc twice in the next stitch] repeat all theway around (30)

5. [dc 2, dc twice in next stitch] repeat around (40)6. [dc 3, dc twice in next stitch] repeat around (50)

Size small move on to step 97. for medium and large sizes only: [dc 4, dc twicein next stitch] repeat around (60)

Size medium move on to step 98. large size only: [dc 5, dc twice in next stitch]

repeat around (70)9. dc in each stitch for several rounds until hatmeasures 5.25 (5.75, 6.25) from crown

10. ch1, sc in each stitch around

Brim:Worked back and forth1. Turn work. ch 1, skip first sc, sc 4, sc twice in next stitch, sc 12 (16, 20), sc twice in next stitch, sc 4,sc2tog (you should be roughly less than half way to the other side)

2. ch 1 and turn work. Skip first sc and sc across until 2 stitches remain. Sc2tog3. ch 1 and turn work. Skip first sc, sc 4, sc twice in next stitch, sc until 7 stitches remain. Sc twice in nextstitch, sc 4, sc2tog.4. ch 1 and turn work. Skip first sc and sc across until 2 stitches remain. Sc 2togSize small: proceed to step 5.

Sizes medium and large: repeat steps 3 and 4 once more or until brim is the size you want. I have found it

works better on a baby to make it smaller than you would think so it doesnt get in their way.5. Switch to H hook. Do not turn work. Outside of hat should be facing you. Continuing from the brim, scdown the edge of brim then sc in every stitch around the hat. Sc up the other side of the brim. Size small:

join with slip stitch on the opposite side of the brim. In other words, dont make another single crochet

row on the brim unless you want more brim. Sizes medium and large: continue across brim and join witha slip stitch where you started.6. Break yarn and weave in ends

Flower:1. ch 6. join with slip stitch2. [sc in center, ch3] five times, join with slip

stitch. These form the petals. Some of mypictures show flowers with six petals. Just repeat

this step once more if you prefer six.3. [sc in new loop, ch1, hdc 3 times, ch1, sc] ineach petal. Join with slip stitch.

4. Break yarn leaving a long tail for sewing. Sewflower to hat using pictures as a guid
