~ a cupcake hat ~

 

Materials:

 

- 4-ply ww acrylic yarn

= approximately 1 oz. pink

= approximately 1 oz. brown

= small amount red

- J hook

- various buttons

Size: this is a toddler size hat

 

Notes:

- ch 2 does not count as a stitch

- I crochet tight so you may want to adjust the size of your crochet hook.

 

Directions:

 

Rnd 1: With pink ch 3, 10 hdc in 3rd ch from hook. Join with a sl st to 1st hdc. (10 hdc)

 

Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 hdc in same st, 2 hdc in each hdc around. Join as before. (20 hdc)

 

Rnd 3: Ch 2, 2 hdc in same st, hdc in next hdc. *2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next hdc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.

 

Rnd 4: Ch 2, 2 hdc in same st, hdc in next 2 hdc. *2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 2 hdc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.

 

Rnd 5: Ch 2, 2 hdc in same st, hdc in next 3 hdc. *2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 3 hdc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.

 

Rnd 6: Ch 2, 2 hdc in same st, hdc in next 4 hdc. *2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 4 hdc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.

 

Rnds 7 - 12: Ch 2, hdc in same st, hdc in each hdc around. Join as before. At end of Rnd 12, end off.

 

==Note: the hdc st basically has 3 loops - the front loop, the back loop, and what I call the side loop. Rnd 13 will be worked in the back loop and the side loop, leaving the front loops unworked.

 

Rnd 13: Join brown with a sl st to back loop and side loop of 1st hdc. Ch 2, hdc in next st (counts as 1st 2 hdc together), hdc in next 10 hdc. *Hdc next 2 hdc together, hdc in next 10 hdc. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to 1st hdc.

 

Rnds 14 - 19: Ch 2, hdc in same st, hdc in each hdc around. Join as before.

 

Rnd 20: Ch 1, sc in same st, sc in each hdc around. Join with a sl st to 1st sc. End off.

 

For trim: join pink with a sc in any hdc loop of Rnd 13, 2 hdc in next loop. *Sc in next loop, 2 hdc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to 1st sc. End off.

 

--with red, make a pom-pom and sew to top of hat.

 

--sew on buttons randomly.

Is this for a child or for an adult? It would be neat for a kid's birthday party! Thanks for sharing.

[tammiet]

[Debi Y]

do you have the adult version? or how to do it??

 

No sorry - I don't have an adult size written out. It should work out larger if you add a couple rnds of increases (after Rnd 6) on the pink part.

[mom2lanienryn]

[Debi Y]
