Debbie's Hat

By: Molly Seltenright

Materials:

Approximately 160 yards worsted weight yarn (I used Patons Classic Wool for the pink hat and Lamb's Pride Worsted for the purple)

H & J Hook

Tapestry needle to weave in ends

Size: Unisex (fits men and women, can easily be made longer by repeating round 11 until it is the desired length)

Gauge: With J hook 3 dc =1 inch and 2 rows =

1 inch

Pattern Notes: Pattern is worked in the round joining the rounds as you crochet. To join rounds almost seamlessly, slip stitch around the first front post double crochet (fpdc) then chain two. Work the first stitch of pattern (fpdc) into the same stitch, the chain 2 will sit neatly behind your work

.

Inspiration to write this pattern is from the wonderful pattern Divine Hat by Sarah Arnold
