Simple Men's Hat | FREE CROCHET PATTERN



I'm crafting my Christmas presents, so that means writing simple and quick patterns because I want to churn out my gifts quickly (procrastinator to the extreme!) but I'm too pretentious to take the easy route and use someone else's pattern. It's not unique, but since I'm not looking at anything it's probably juuuuuuust original enough to post.

For this hat you need a size J hook (smaller or larger depending on head size and tension) and one skein of Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I used Charcoal for this project.

MAIN HAT
ch 4
RND1: make 11 dc in 4th ch from hook, join w/ sl st (12 st)
RND2: ch 3, dc in same sp, 2 dc in each st around, join w/ sl st
RND3: ch 3, dc in next st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 2 st, repeat from *, join w/ sl st
RND4: ch 3, dc in next 2 st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 3 st, repeat from *, join w/ sl st
RND5: ch 3, dc in next 3 st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 4 st, repeat from *, join w/ sl st
RND6: ch 3, dc in next 4 st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 5 st, repeat from *, join w/ sl st
RND7: ch 3, dc in next 5 st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 6 st, repeat from *, join w/ sl st
RND8: ch 3, dc in next 6 st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 7 st, repeat from *, join w/ sl st
RND9-14: dc around, join w/ sl st (72 st)
f/o

BAND

R1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across (9 st)
R2-72: [BLO] ch 1, sc in same st, sc across
ch1, hold ends of band together and sl st it together, do not f/o

ASSEMBLY
Turn hat inside out, place band around the bottom and sc it to the main hat. Turn hat rightside out and flip the band up, concealing the sc row inside
