Puppy Crochet Hat



This by far the cutest pattern I've made to date. I will not make the introduction long for the pattern itself is very long because of the Size Variations. I made sure that there is a hat pattern for everyone. Young and old both love a puppy, so without further adieu here it is.

This same pattern is also available on my Ravelry Store, ready for download in PDF file for a minimum amount.

It is so hard to take pictures with children. I asked my kids to model the hat for me and they all agreed but I never got one decent picture. 
It's safe to say this little one love the hat but she won't even sit still for a second.

A Simple HDC Hat



Half Double Crochet (HDC) is one of the basic stitches in crochet. When making hats/bonnet this stitch is very reliable, it makes your hat cozier(because it is thicker than SC, or DC) and it leaves a beautiful pattern on your work.

So I decided to make a very easy HDC hat. Anyone can do this, suitable for beginners and you will be happy with the result.
 




Materials

  • Acrylic Yarn (Medium # 4)
  • H/5.00mm Crochet Hook
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle

Stitches Used
  • HDC - Half Double Crochet
  • CH(s) - Chain(s)

  • Baby         -       6-12 Months

Instructions
Round 1. Magic ring. CH 1 and 10 HDC into the ring. Closed the ring tightly, join in the first HDC. (10HDC)

Round 2. CH1, 2 HDC in each stitch all the way around. Join in the first HDC. (20 HDC)

Round 3. CH1, 1 HDC in the first stitch, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next stitch, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (30 HDC)

Round 4. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 2 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 2 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (40 HDC)

Round 5. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 7 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 7 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (45 HDC)
Stop here and proceed to Round 11 for a NEWBORN (0-6 mos) size.

Round 6. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 8 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 8 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (50 HDC)
Stop here and proceed to Round 11 for a BABY (6-12 mos) Size

Round 7. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 4 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 4 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (60 HDC)
Stop here and proceed to Round 11 for a Toddler Size

Round 8. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 9 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 9 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (66 HDC)
Stop here and proceed to Round 11 for a CHILD's Size

Round 9. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 10 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 10 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (72 HDC)
Stop here and proceed to Round 11 for a TEENAGER size.

Round 10. CH1, 1 HDC in the first 11 stitches, 2 HDC in next. * 1 HDC in the next 11 stitches, 2 HDC in next.* Repeat all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (78 HDC)

Round 11-24 CH1, 1 HDC in each stitch all the way around until the end. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (45,50,60,66, 72, 78HDC)
You can add more rounds if you want a more slouchy hat. You reduce the number of rounds if you don't want it slouchy. For Teenager and Adult, I stop at Round 17 and proceed to Round 25. And only added 5 rounds of HDC in the 3rd stitch.







Round 25-34. CH1, HDC in the 3rd loop in all stitches all the way around. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. (78HDC)  You can actually opt to join in the first stitch and continue to work in rounds. It will create a very nice continuing V-stitch like or Knit Like stitches.



Round 35. Slip stitch loosely on each stitch all the way around. Fasten off and weave in all ends. Do not tighten your slip stitches.
