Master hat measurements for crochet by determining the hat length and circumference minus stretch. Use either your own hat or standard sizes, and plan brim size and yarn choices.
Start a crochet winter hat with an initial chain and cast-on. Measure the chain length so it's bigger than the hat, and reserve eight or ten chains for the top.
Continue the main part 2 of the crochet hat, working back loops with single crochets and slip stitches, counting 36 stitches and 10 to 5 slip stitches.
Try on the hat to assess fit, then stretch the hat slightly so the ends meet and the edges join smoothly, ensuring it doesn’t slip easily.
Choose a hook that fits your yarn and check the size against the size chart. Select yarn by softness (merino wool or acrylic) and gather buttons, scissors, and measuring tape.
Finish the cowl edges by adding rows of single crochets and puff stitches, create four buttonholes with three single crochets each, space them evenly, then sew on the buttons.
Learn to hide yarn tails inside the cowl with a yarn needle and single crochet technique, and decorate with decorative elements for a polished winter accessory.
Hi friends!
I am glad to welcome you to my new crochet course. This time, together with you, we will crochet a charming and fashionable winter hat, and in addition to it, an easy one- or two-turn snood of your choice.
Do you know how my courses differ from others? First of all, by the fact that I try to select the most universal models. You do not need to look for exactly the same yarn as mine. You also don't need to get into my crochet density. All you need to do is take a few simple measurements and start crocheting.
What initial skills do you need to start crocheting with my course:
- you already confidently hold the hook in your hands, you know where the working thread should be, and confidently yarn over
- you are familiar with the basic stitches: chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, puff stitch. (I still slowly show how to make them in the first lessons of the course)
What materials will you need for these two projects:
For the hat 200 gr (7.05 oz), thick yarn (wool, semiwool, merino, alpaca, acrylic) + a suitable hook
For snood 200 g of thinner yarn + a suitable hook
scissors
measuring tape
3-5 buttons for your choice
What you will learn in the course:
- crochet a universal hat for any size (from 3 years to an adult)
- learn about cross crocheting technique
- you will be more confident in doing the basic stitches
In my videos, I tried to illustrate in as much detail as possible the process of crocheting. Perhaps you still have additional personal difficulties or questions. In that case, I will be happy to answer your questions in private messages.
I do hope you enjoy the process and eventually are happy with the result!
