Riverboat Gambler (Hat)

[CrochetDad]

I really like! Looks fab on you! What size hook did you use?? And worsted yarn? Sorry I don't know book &/or pattern to refer to find out

 

Yarn used was Caron Worsted (I used the One Pound, which I have a bunch of) in Taupe with the band in Espresso.

 

F hook for crown, H hook and two strands for the brim.

 

I really recommend this book. I've made several hats from the book and this was my third of this pattern. My son loves his - I guess I'll post those pics, too. A friend of my mother requested one, too. I'm working on that one now.

Great hat! Does it keep its shape easily?

Thanks!

It keeps the shape pretty well. The brim is great, since it's two strands and a bit thicker and stiffer than the crown, I reshape the crown when I put it on.

Aww, thanks Sandi. I bought the book on one of those "New/Used" links on Amazon for a great price.
