Crochet a Stylish Strawberry Hat: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Abbre­vi­a­tions:

dc=double cro­chet

sc=single cro­chet

sl st=slip stitch
ch=chain

hdc=half dou­ble cro­chet

tr=treble cro­chet

sts=stitches

Instruc­tions: Use the hook best for your hat size, as shown in the pho­to above. 

Women size, I hook give a more snug fit, ch 4, sl st, to form a ring.

rnd 1. ch 2 (count as one hdc), work 9 hdc in the ring, sl st. (10 hdc) 

Now after this round, work in con­tin­u­ous Rounds with­out a sl st so you don’t get a diag­o­nal line! 

rnd 2. ch 2 (counts as one hdc), hdc in the same stitch as the ch2, then work 2hdc in each stitch around, Slip Stitch (start to use a mark­er) (20 hdc) 

rnd 3. *work hdc in the next stitch, 2hdc in the next stitch, *repeat around, con­tin­ue around, no slip stitch or chain, (I would use a mark­er so you can keep track of your increased rounds) (30 hdc) 

rnd 4. *work hdc in the next 2 stitch­es, 2hdc in the next stitch, *repeat around, con­tin­ue around. (40 hdc) 

rnd 5. *work hdc in the next 3 stitch­es, 2hdc in the next stitch, *repeat around, con­tin­ue around. (50 hdc)

rnd 6. *work hdc in the next 4 stitch­es, 2 hdc in the next stitch, *repeat around, con­tin­ue around. (60 hdc) 

rnds 7–18. *work hdc in each stitch around, *repeat for about 12 rounds, if you want it right below the ears or you could go one less round, I would try it on to see if the hat is where you like it on your ears. 

Rnd 19: Brim of the Hat: hdc, 2 hdc in the next stitch, *Repeat around

Rnd 20: hdc in each stitch around

Rnd 21: hdc next two stitch­es, 2 hdc in the next stitch, *Repeat around

Rnd 22: hdc in each stitch around, sl st and Fas­ten off. 

White Yarn, with your yarn nee­dle, dou­ble thread it and sew in lit­tle dash lines all over the hat. 

To Com­plete the leaf, then go back up a leaf, with a sl st in each cor­ner, *tr, dc in the next 2 stitch­es, hdc in the 2 stitch­es, sc in the next stitch, sl st. Fas­ten off. Go back to each leaf and work up the side the same way *Repeat for all your leaves.
