(Almost) Instant Gratification Hat
Materials and Equipment
Crochet hook sized N
1 1/2 skein of Yarn Bee’s Mosaic Twist (tangy clay #117 used in model)
Gauge: Rounds 1-2 = 4 inches
Directions
Ch 4
Round 1: 12 dc in 4th ch from hook. Sl st to close this and all rounds.
Round 2: Ch 2. This doesn’t count as the first stitch. 2 dc in each stitch. 24 dc
Round 3: Ch 2. 2 dc in 1st stitch, dc in next stitch. (2 dc in next st, dc in next st) around 36 dc
Round 4: ch 2. 2 dc in 1st stitch, dc in each of next 8 dc. (2 dc in next st, dc in each of next 8 dc) around. 40 dc.
Round 5: Ch 2. Work even in dc. 40 dc.
Round 6: Ch 2. Skip first st, dc in next st. Now go back and dc in skipped st. Stitches form an “X” shape. (Skip the next st, dc in following st, go back and dc in skipped st) around. 20 “X” stitches formed by the 40 dc.
Round 7: Work even in sc. 40 sc.
Round 8: Repeat Round 6.
Round 9: Repeat Round 7.
Round 10: Repeat Round 6.
Round 11: Ch 2. Work one round of dc in front loops.
Round 12: Do not ch. Turn work. (Skip 2 dc, work 6 dc in space between 2nd skipped dc and next dc. Skip 2 dc, sl st between 2nd skipped dc and next dc.) around. 20 scallops formed.
Cut yarn and weave in loose ends. Fold hat along bottom of Round 11 to form brim.
NOTE: I’m not much for wearing hats. But if I do wear one, I prefer that it have a loose fit so this hat fits loose around my head. If you prefer a closer fit, try using hook sized L or M or you can adjust the pattern as follows: Work Round 4 even in dc. The rest of the pattern will work as written except that you will have 36 stitches instead of 40, Round 6 will result in 19 “X” stitches being formed, and on Round 12 you will have 19 scallops formed.
