Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Making the Foundation Chain
- Create a Slip Knot.
- Chain 55 stitches for the foundation chain.
- Add 2 extra chains (to serve as the turning chain for the first row).
2. Row 1: Creating the Base
- Start Row 1:
- Work a double crochet (DC) into the third chain from the hook.
- Continue placing 1 DC into every stitch across the row.
- Do not crochet into the initial slip knot.
- End Row 1:
- Finish with a DC in the last chain. This completes Row 1.
- Finish with a DC in the last chain. This completes Row 1.
3. Row 2: Establish the Pattern Repeat
- Chain 2 at the start of Row 2 (acts as a turning chain).
- Turn your work.
- Skip the first stitch and begin with a DC in the second stitch.
- Continue working 1 DC into each stitch across the row.
- At the end, place 1 DC in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. This keeps the row edges straight.
- Repeat Row 2: For the pattern, repeat Row 2 several times.
- For the first color (gray), complete 14 rows of DC.
4. Switching Colors
- Finish your gray yarn:
- Cut the yarn with scissors, leaving enough length to weave in your ends.
- Pull the yarn snugly through the last loop.
- Join the white yarn:
- Insert your hook into the corner stitch where you finished the last stitch.
- Pull the new color through and tie an overhand knot to secure.
- Work Row 2 with the new color (white):
- Chain 2, turn your work, and repeat the row pattern (DC in the second stitch and each stitch across).
- Complete 14 rows in white.
5. Adding the Third Color
- Repeat the process for switching colors:
- Finish the white yarn and join your third color (black).
- Repeat Row 2, working 14 rows of DC with black yarn.
6. Joining the Side Edges
- Fold the panel in half, aligning the short edges (gray and black sides).
- Use your preferred joining method:
- Slip Stitch:
- Insert your hook into only the inner loops of each edge stitch from both sides.
- Yarn over and pull through both loops and the working loop to slip stitch. Repeat across the edge.
- Alternative: Use a darning needle for an invisible seam.
- Slip Stitch:
- Finish by securing the seam and turning the hat inside out for a clean look.
7. Cinching the Top
- Begin at the seam with a length of yarn (gray, or any preferred color).
- Attach the yarn securely with a double knot at the seam.
- Thread your darning needle with the yarn.
- Stitches:
- Weave in and out of the top edge of the hat, spacing the stitches evenly.
- Ensure they are loose and not pulled taut.
- Once you’ve woven around the full circumference, gently pull the yarn to cinch the top closed.
- Tighten securely and sew additional stitches across any remaining gaps.
8. Finishing Touches
- Turn the hat right-side out.
- Adjust the cinched top for symmetry.
- Fold up the brim as desired (thick or thin band).
- Weave in all loose ends with the darning needle, trimming excess yarn.
