GRANNY HAT





PATTERN for  the GRANNY HAT (in English)

Yarn: Medium, worsted
Needle: 4mm or 5mm (depending on how tight or loose you crochet. For better results, check the suggested number for the yarn you will use)
Size: 4 yrs to adult
For Baby size: use baby yarn (fine) instead of medium yarn, with 3 or 3.5 mm crochet hook.  Or skip row 4.



Ch = Chains
Sc = simple crochet
Dc = Double crochet
Fpdc = Front-post dc (If you are not familiar with this stitch and the following,  I  suggest you go to YouTube, where you will find many video tutorials)
Bpdc = Back-post dc
Slst = slip stitch
Magic ring ( or ring of 4 chains)

1)  12DC on magic ring.
2)  Chain 3 (counts as first DC), and 1 DC on same st.  Then reperat: *2DC on each st * (Total: 24DC)
3)  Chain 3  (counts as first DC).  2 DC on next st.  Then follow this pattern all around: *1DC on the next st, and then 2 DC together on the next st* (Total: 36DC)
4)  Chain 3, and 1 DC in next st.  Then repeat all around: *2 DC + 2 DC together* (that is, 1dc then 1 dc, then 2 dc´s on the same stitch)  (Total: 48 DC)

5)  Chain 3  (counts as first DC) , and DC on next 2 sts.  Repeat all around: *Chain 1, DC in
next 3 st*  (Total: 48 DC and 12 ch) 

Slip stitch to close, and slip st to the next chain-space to start the "granny rows"...

6-12> Chain 3  + 2 DC (on the space below, between the group of 3 DC´s).  Now repeat the following all around: *Chain 1 + 3 DC on 1ch-space below*, end with chain 1 and slip st. 

Then, slip st to the next chain-space.
13> DC in every st, including the chain spaces,  (Total: 64 DC)
14-16>  For the rib part:  Chain 2 (counts as first Bpdc) + 1 Bpdc *2 FpSt + 2BpSt* end with sl stitch, and cast off.

Optional: add a flower.

You can find a pattern for the 2 or 3 petal rose @ Protenska: “3D crochet flower” (written and photo tutorial), or a video in You Tube: How to Crochet a Flower Tutorial”.

  2. So pretty! Would this be a toddler size or a child size? What size hook and yarn? I don't see it listed anywhere. Thank you!

  3. Linda:
    I hope you try it, and let us see your version. ;-)
    (I have it in Ravelry in case you are a member, and you want to post it there)

    Diana:
    I appreciate your comment, and have added the yarn and needle info, as well as a note on how to adapt it to smaller sizes.
    I have made all 3 sizes, and they all come out cute. (I will put the pics soon)
    You can even use other yarns and adapt it. For example, I used baby yarn and followed the toddler size to compensate.
    I hope this helps.

    When you say dc in next stitch such as on rounds 3 and 4, do you mean don't put the dc in the joining stitch? When I put it in the next stitch (not the stitch I joined), I always have a gap between the ch3 and the first dc.. :( Please help.

    1. GREAT QUESTION! I also hate that gap. Depending on the yarn and hook I use, sometimes I go up with 2 chains (instead of 3ch). This usually makes that gap disappear.
      I would not suggest making 2 dc in the joining st because that would be an increase.
      Try this trick: On the beginning of every row, go up with 2 chains, instead of 3.

  6. Hi Ana,
    Thanks for your comments on my blog. I'm from Holland and there are people who like to have the pattern in Dutch. Do I have your permission to translate your pattern in Dutch? I will notice your name and website. I'm looking forward to your answer!

    1. I think you are doing it correctly, from what I understand...The first rows are supposed to lay flat, and then the hat goes straight down. But once you fold it in two, you will see the shape on the photos...or when you wear it, it will take the shape of the head.
