Summer is almost at the door and I had not made a summer hat for my older granddaughter. So I got started. The size depends on the material and crochet hook, as well as how tightly you crochet. I think I crocheted and unravelled it five times before I got the size right. I used 100% cotton yarn and a 1.5 mm crochet hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer hat chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I crocheted according to the chart. I kept measuring and at first it looked as though it would be too small. Then I made the starting ring with 6 chain stitches and 20 stitches on the second row. No good: it started to ripple and became far too wide, about my own size. I unravelled it. I tried a couple fewer stitches. Still too big, so I unravelled again. Finally I decided to follow the chart exactly but crochet a little more loosely. After measuring several times, it became clear that yes, it really could still be larger, so I added one extra increase row. On my final increase row I have three chain stitches before the post stitch. That gave a hat circumference of 48 cm. From the third row onwards I worked the first stitch of each group into the last stitch of the previous row\u2019s group and the rest as shown in the chart, to create that little hole \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I puzzled over the post-stitch symbol for quite a while. In the end I asked in Facebook\u2019s Heegeldajate Klubi crochet group<\/a> and got confirmation that my thinking was on the right track. Look here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I crocheted until the hat was 17 cm deep and then started the brim. I used half trebles. I am not some wonderfully skilled crocheter, I do not invent patterns and charts myself, and the thought of making a wide brim left me wondering how on earth to increase it. In typical fashion, I crocheted and unravelled. Eventually I increased one half treble at every post of the hat pattern. I did that on every row, making four rows of half trebles in all. It did ripple, yes, but let it ripple. It looks prettier that way. I worked the fifth and final row in crab stitch, from left to right. It is a little awkward, but worth it because the edge becomes neat and firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the tie I crocheted a chain of 150 stitches and worked back along it in ordinary double crochet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flowers gave me trouble too, but as always Google is my friend. The search led me to YouTube, where there is no shortage of this sort of thing. I eventually chose dahlias and decided those were what I would make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began with 60 chain stitches and worked back in half trebles. On the next row I crocheted 3 chains, skipped two stitches and joined with a double crochet into the third stitch, repeating to the end. That gives 20 arches. On the return row, into each arch I worked: double crochet, half treble, treble, double treble, triple treble, double treble, treble, half treble, double crochet. I worked all the arches this way. At the end I left a good length of yarn and threaded it into a darning needle. Then I rolled the arches up, sewing each turn firmly in place. Once the circle was formed, I stitched through it securely again and gave the flower its final shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I threaded the tie through the holes in the hat, attached the flowers and, using a little starch spray, pressed the brim and very lightly the hat itself.<\/p>\n\n<\/trp-tag>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
