BUY YARN
See next page for chart photo
This extremely soft and drapey
bulky weight yarn has a furry texture
and is soothing to work with. Enjoy
crocheting this one-ball hat for
yourself or whenever you need a
quick luscious gift.
Directions are for size Small. Changes
for size Large are in parentheses.
Hat measures 20 (22)" circumference
at brim x 16" long [51 (56) x 40.5 cm],
excluding pompom.
Notes
1. Hat is worked vertically with short
rows to create the curve at the top of
the piece.
2. Work in back loops only as instructed
for more stretch at the brim.
3. When instructed to work into a stitch
"2 rows below", work into the row
numbered 2 less than the current row.
For example, if you are working Row
4, a stitch "2 rows below" is Row 4 – 2
= Row 2.

FINISHING
With first and last rows held together,
sew through both thicknesses to seam.
Secure last stitch but do not cut. Weave
tail through short row ends at top of hat
and pull gently to close. Secure and pull
tail to wrong side.
Following pompom maker directions,
make 2" (5 cm) pompom or make
pompom as follows: Wrap yarn around
2" (5 cm) piece of heavy cardboard (the
more wraps, the fuller the pompom).
Gently remove wraps from cardboard.
Cut a 12" (30.5 cm) strand and tie it
tightly around center of wraps. Do not
cut the ends of this center tie. Cut ends
of wraps. Fluff and trim pompom. Use
ends of center tie to tie pompom to top
of hat.
Weave in ends.
