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
ch 10
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

The Rosette Beanie

I designed this pattern and then my coworker asked for a version made in red, which features alterations to the original pattern. I called it the rosette because the motif on the top reminds me of stained glass windows.

tr9tog: y/o twice, insert hook in stitch, pull through, y/o and pull through twice, repeat in next 8 st, y/o and pull through all loops on the hook

I used an H on hers and I think an I on the one pictured.

Row 1: ch 4, 11 dc in 4th chain from hook (12 dc)

Row 2: make 2 sc in each st around (24 st)

Row 3: *ch 12, sc in next 2 st, repeat from *

Row 4: make 16 sc in each loop

After this row, changes were made the pattern. The red version will show these changes as compared to the teal.

Row 5: sl st to 4th sc (switch colors here if you wish), sc in 8 st, *ch 3, sk 8 st, sc in 8 st, repeat from *

The chain three between loops was not in the original pattern

Row 6: sl st in next 5 st, ch 4 tr8tog, ch 16, skip 2 st, tr9tog

It was originally tr8tog but I had to make allowances for the extra stitched made by the chain three spaces

After row 6, everything is as it is in the original pattern
Row 7: (switch colors again if desired) ch 3, make 19 dc in ch 16 space, *20 dc in next ch 16 sp, repeat from *
Row 8: (switch colors again if desired) 4 sl st, *12 sc, sk 8, repeat from *
Row 9: sl st to 5th st, ch 3, dc in next 3 st, *ch 4, skip 8 st, dc in next 4 st, repeat from *
Row 10: sc around
Row 11: (switch colors again if desired) dc around
Rows 12-15: sc around (I alternated colors every other row)

Vintage Crocheted Cape

My grandmother handed me this pattern the other day, with its aged yellow paper, and asked if I would make her this cape. She's the one who taught me to crochet a little over 11 years ago, and she loves seeing my work. She especially likes the shawls I make for her, and is always telling about the compliments people give her for them at church and in the grocery store. I tried my hardest to find a date on this, but I couldn't find one. My grandmother said her mother gave it to her, and that it's from the 70s. If you wanted to buy books from the company that published this pattern it only cost 50 cents!

I have photographed the pattern for you below:

Welcome to Night Vale Applique | Free Crochet Pattern

Due to some infiltration threats from that nasty, awful town Desert Bluffs, all Night Vale citizens are required to wear this symbol on their clothing, or, preferably, sewn onto their foreheads, so the Sheriff's Secret Police can distinguish good, law abiding Night Vale citizens from those nasty, awful, infiltrators from Desert Bluffs.
