Assembly / Finishing
Fasten off, leaving a long tail (approx. 12 inches/30 cm). Weave the tail through the top of each stitch of the last round using a tapestry needle. Pull tightly to gather the top of the hat closed. Secure with a few stitches. Weave in all remaining ends. Attach a pom-pom to the top of the hat if desired.
Tips
- Yarn Substitution: This pattern is highly adaptable. You can use any yarn weight, but be sure to adjust your hook size to match the yarn. For example, if you use a worsted weight yarn, you might need a 5.0 mm hook. Make sure to check your gauge to ensure the finished hat will be the desired size.
- Gauge Swatch: Crocheting a gauge swatch is highly recommended to ensure your finished item matches the intended size. The given stitch counts are mathematically verified, but fit depends on your personal tension and gauge.
- Stitch Marker: Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track of your progress.
- Joining: Always join with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the round, not the chain-1. This creates a neater seam.
