Thanks Gerry for helping me to write out my pattern in crochet jargen
Materials
Either Bernat or Lion Brand Baby Soft
(A baby sport yarn )
Size E or F crochet Hook
Sizes: Preemie small 3 1/2",medium 4" and
large 4 1/2" in diameter
Directions are given for small with changes for
other sizes on the bottom
Ch 5,Sl st to first ch to make ring
R 1: Ch 3,23 Dc in ring, Join with Sl st to 3rd ch
of the first ch3 ( 24 Dc )
R 2 to 10 : Ch 3,Turn at beginning of every row
( this will eliminate diagonal seam line )
Dc in each Dc around,
join with sl st as before.
( 24 Dc.) at end of last row end off, weave in yarn,
tie small small pom pom to top of hat.
Fold up last 2 rows for brim.
Size Medium
R1: Same as R 1 of above
R 2:Inc in every 2nd dc ( 36 Dc )
R 3 to 10 : Same as size small (36 Dc )
Size Large
R 1: same as R 1 above
R 2: Inc in every dc (48 Dc )
R 3 to 10: Same as size med. (48 Dc )
For even larger sizes work same as above
( sm, med & large ) with soft Worsted
weight yarn and size G hook
Larger sizes will require more than ten rounds.
My recommendation would be to make the
piece as long as it is wide.
I did one using the large pattern with
worsted weight yarn and the width came to 8 in diameter,
so 10 rounds won't be enough for a nice long fit.
I made it 16 rounds because 1 round of length came to
a half inch.
*************************
Adult Size
I just now made one 10 inches in diameter.
Fits me to a tee!
Follow the pattern for large, only difference is
in the 3rd round do an increase every 3rd stitch,
do the rest as regular for 16 rounds total.
*************************
In using the pattern for larger sizes with worsted
weight yarn,there are obvious additions to be made
in how many rounds are added.
Use your own judgement on that. ,,,,glor
