About the FREE Chic and Simple Beginner Crochet Hat Pattern
When making simple double crochet hats, I always start with the cuff. I prefer cuff to crown construction vs. crown to cuff. I think the cuff looks better when made separately and then the hat is worked from the side of it. So, that is where this hat began for me. I had one ball of Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™ yarn (who am I kidding, I have several balls!) and the Marly’s Minions were requesting more one ball projects.
After playing around with some ideas I finally decided I wanted to make a hat. I began with a very simple single crochet blo ribbing stitch and worked a band up that would be large enough to go around my head. From there, I jumped into my double crochet hat pattern that I’ve used for years. You know the one I am talking about, you don’t have it written down, it is just in your head and you can do it without thinking? Sort of like making chocolate chip cookies…I know that recipe by HEART.
Anyway, after about three and a half hours I had a finished hat. I tried it on and I thought it looked pretty good…but that is when my son walked in my office and informed me he looked better in it. He took the hat from my hands and put it on his head. Grudgingly I had to agree that he looked better in the green hat than I did. Here is a picture, you can decide for yourself!
The hat has found a happy home on Caden’s head and I could not more happy. I love when I make something and my family immediately says, “MINE!” So now the only thing left to do is to write the chic and simple perfect hat pattern up for all of you lovely crocheters so you can make one for yourself or your family. They also make really great craft fair items to sell!
This easy to crochet beanie pattern is a free crochet pattern and it is available in multiples sizes from baby to adult.
