Hi everybody this is Krista so today I'm going聽 to show you how to make this hat here it's got聽聽
[11]
the red a brim that folds up the nice edging聽 on it and it pom-pom on top which of course聽聽
[17]
you can leave off if you want now this hat is聽 really easy to make it's just made with simply a聽聽
[23]
single crochet and double crochet done in the back聽 loop now it's made if you look on the inside you聽聽
[31]
can see where the where it was slip stitched聽 up so it's made in one rectangle and then we聽聽
[38]
slip stitch it up the side like this and then we聽 gather the top at the end gather it up close and聽聽
[45]
shut the top and then add a pom-pom if you want聽 and fold up your hat but it's not hard at all so聽聽
[52]
let's go ahead and get started on this okay for聽 this project I am using a red heart Super Saver聽聽
[58]
stripes it is a 100% medium weight number four聽 acrylic yarn on Amberson acrylic now you don't聽聽
[68]
have to use this yarn any a medium weight for聽 yarn will work the color I am using is called聽聽
[75]
Sutherland striped and there are 236 yards in聽 the skein and one will be enough to complete聽聽
[84]
the Hat and then I'm going to be using a size J聽 which is a six millimeter crochet hook alright聽聽
[93]
you want to start off with the chain of 41 now聽 once you get your chain of 41 done you want to聽聽
[100]
do a single crochet in the second stitch from聽 the hook now remember we do not count the one聽聽
[105]
that's on our hook so in the second stitch聽 we're gonna do a single crochet and then I'm聽聽
[110]
gonna then I'm going to do one single crochet聽 in every stitch for the length of the chain
[119]
just like this so Row 1 is 1 single in every聽 stitch until you get to the end of the row ok聽聽
[147]
once you make it to the end of Row 1 you should聽 have a total of 40 stitches now 40 is the magic聽聽
[152]
number that's what we're going to happen at the聽 end of every row now so rows 2 & 3 are the repeat聽聽
[159]
rows so for Row 2 we are going to chain 1 and turn聽 our work now working in the back loop only if you聽聽
[168]
look the stitch has two loops the one closest聽 to you is the front loop and the one furthest聽聽
[174]
away is the back loop so working in the back聽 loop only we are going to do a double crochet聽聽
[180]
into this very very first stitch this is always聽 the hardest one to get the back loop of back loop聽聽
[187]
only we double crochet and now I'm going to work聽 one double crochet back loop only in every single聽聽
[198]
stitch until I get to the end of the row remember聽 we're only working in the back loop of each stitch
[220]
so one double in every stitch back loop聽 only until you get to the end of row two
[237]
all righty I've made it to the end of Row聽 two and you still should have a total of聽聽
[243]
40 stitches now Row 3 what we're gonna do聽 is chain one and turn now we're gonna be聽聽
[250]
working in the back loops only still we're聽 always working in the back loops only from聽聽
[254]
now on but this time we're just going to do聽 single crochet into the back loops only make聽聽
[259]
sure you go into the back loop of this very聽 first stitch and single crochet and then we're聽聽
[268]
gonna do one single crochet back loop only聽 in every stitch to get to the end of the row
[285]
just like this
[298]
and that's what salsa look like so go ahead聽 and repeat your one single crochet in every聽聽
[303]
stitch until you get to the end of Row three聽 okay I made it to the end of Row three forty聽聽
[319]
stitches still and now what we're gonna do is just聽 we're going to keep repeating rows two and three聽聽
[324]
so it's a Ron row four will be double crochet聽 in the back loop only and then real file will聽聽
[331]
be single crochet in the back loop only double聽 crochet in the back loop only single crochet in聽聽
[336]
the back loop only and we're just going to keep聽 it repeating those rows two and three you chain聽聽
[342]
one in turn always working in the back loop only聽 so I'm on my double crochet row right now so we're聽聽
[353]
just going to keep repeating those back and forth聽 now you'll always have forty stitches at the end聽聽
[358]
of every row regardless of what row you're on聽 and you'll always be working in the back loops
[382]
all right I have done a total of 42 rows now what聽 you want to do is to give your piece a stretch聽聽
[391]
okay and then you want to take your measuring聽 tape and you want it to measure up stretched聽聽
[400]
you want it to measure about 22 inches or聽 so like that okay so if you need to add a聽聽
[412]
little bit more or take out a little bit less聽 in case you crochet tighter or looser the meet聽聽
[418]
that's fine just make sure it's right around聽 22 inches after it's stretched but I did the聽聽
[423]
42 rows and you want to end in a row of double聽 crochet so now what we're gonna do is seam it up聽聽
[430]
so you see here where the double crochets are聽 facing the right side up this is the front of聽聽
[438]
your work so you want to we're going to sew it聽 up backwards so what we're going to do is just聽聽
[446]
flip it in half like that so this is the wrong聽 side of course if you want this to be the right聽聽
[452]
side that's fine whatever you want but this聽 is the side that's going to be on the inside聽聽
[456]
of the Hat we're gonna seam it up like this so聽 and then we'll flip it right side out and that聽聽
[463]
way the seam won't show so all we're gonna do聽 is slip stitch it together so we're gonna go聽聽
[470]
through with the first we're gonna we're not聽 doing a back loop only we're gonna go through聽聽
[476]
both loops now so we're gonna go through both聽 loops to the first stitch and then both loops聽聽
[481]
of the first stitch over here and slip stitch and聽 that's what we're gonna do all the way down both聽聽
[493]
loops on this stitch both loops on the stitch聽 on the other side and slip stitch it right up
[512]
and I'm going to continue slip stitching it聽聽
[517]
until I get all the way to the聽 top and it's completely closed
[536]
okay so once this slip stitch all the way to聽 the top you can write and clip your yarn and聽聽
[541]
tie that off and then we'll go ahead and flip聽 our work right-side out and it should be the聽聽
[549]
seam should be pretty well matched up with the聽 rest of the Hat yep so you can see the seam is聽聽
[557]
right here but it pretty well matches the rest of聽 the way that the ridges go pretty close anyways聽聽
[563]
I really can't ask for much better than that so聽 now we're gonna sew just kind of gather the top聽聽
[569]
up and sew it up so you want to get your yarn聽 needle in a piece of yarn in my yarns piece is聽聽
[577]
probably like five foot long it's better to have聽 too much than not enough so what I'm gonna do is聽聽
[584]
this go back and forth across the top leave a tail聽 here that we can sew in later and then we'll what聽聽
[594]
we'll do is we'll pull it all together later I'm聽 kind of just going out there into the stitch there
[620]
you see how I'm going I'm not really going in I'm聽 just going like in-between the stitch there's a聽聽
[626]
hole there I'm gonna do this all the way around聽 I'm doing it kind of about the end of every road聽聽
[634]
here and then we'll kind of pull it together and聽 it should close it up and then stick a pompom on聽聽
[643]
it hide some tails fold up the brim all that good聽 stuff so we're getting close to being finished so聽聽
[658]
I'm just gonna continue going all the way around聽 like this just weaving this yarn back and forth聽聽
[664]
to the end of the rows and so I get to where I聽 started and then pull it and pull it shut all聽聽
[677]
right I have weaved in and out of every stitch聽 every other stitch just you know around the top聽聽
[684]
here now I wanted to do is take my tail and I'm聽 gonna slowly kind of just gather up my top you聽聽
[691]
can pull your other tail that you started with聽 - you want to you got two tails there working聽聽
[699]
with you can just pull them until the Hat gets聽 as tight closed as possible and then won't sew聽聽
[706]
it together the rest of the way but usually聽 you can get it pretty tired with doing this
[717]
okay I'm gonna clip up a little bit of聽 this extra tail because I definitely聽聽
[730]
don't need that much anymore extra now聽 you just want to take it at the top keep聽聽
[739]
pulling it tight though how do you can聽 get it let me put my camera down a bit
[743]
there's your one tail which so cool so聽 that went into and just take it and sew聽聽
[754]
up the top with these two tails that remain聽 so there's no hole up here pull it tight
[769]
but as you're selling it聽 together also hiding these聽聽
[774]
tales at the same time two birds with one stone
[790]
don't put your hand up there to help you聽 see what still needs to be sewn is fine
[804]
now I'm going to do this and in that way聽 starter with I'm going to use it and to聽聽
[812]
sew around top a little more at the聽 same time on be hard on this tail too
[826]
this one I might put your hands in聽 there like I am make sure you can't聽聽
[830]
see there there's no hole up there聽 still you're gonna put it pom-pom聽聽
[837]
on it doesn't really matter if there's a聽 tiny tiny hole I guess I'll be covered but聽聽
[840]
if you're not you want to make sure that聽 it's closed up as tight as you can get it
[859]
takes a little sewing thought you'll get it and聽 once you get this also not be just want to clip聽聽
[866]
these tails and then you can hide any remaining聽 tails that you have that are hanging around okay聽聽
[875]
and I went ahead and folded my broom up now there聽 if you want to you can leave it like this it looks聽聽
[881]
awesome like this the way this if you want to add聽 a pom pom you can now there's many different ways聽聽
[886]
to add pom poms I bought these pom-poms I think聽 I said Amazon in the beginning and these have a聽聽
[896]
loop on him some have buttons some some of them聽 have loops I prefer the ones with the elastic聽聽
[902]
loop now you can't sew it on real tight to where聽 it's not gonna come off some people hot glue them聽聽
[909]
on which I had done before or you can I'll show聽 you what I'll do with this one this way it can聽聽
[917]
be removable in case you want to wash your hat聽 just take a piece of yarn and a yarn needle and聽聽
[924]
go through the loop and through where you want聽 to put your at the top of the hat there pull it聽聽
[937]
out anyone do the other one the same way in the聽 same spot and you basically just kind of knot聽聽
[944]
it on or tie it from the inside and that way you聽 can untie it whenever you want to wash your hat聽聽
[950]
that's what I'm going to do this time but if you聽 want something more permanent I suggest hot glue聽聽
[959]
or sewing it on with regular thread and needle聽 but this way you can just put some knots in it聽聽
[966]
real tight and then leave the strands hanging and聽 then if you want to wash your hat you could just聽聽
[976]
clip the pom-pom off wash your hat and then do聽 this to put the pom pom pom pom back on that's聽聽
[982]
it that's how I'm gonna add that pom one that's聽 it another hat is vanished I think it turned out聽聽
[991]
pretty cute I like so let's didn't take that long聽 I don't think it was too bad at all and I really聽聽
[999]
