Have you ever wanted to create your own stylish fedora hat? Look no further! In this step-by-step tutorial, we will guide you through the process of crocheting a fashionable fedora hat. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this project is sure to be a fun and rewarding endeavor. So grab your acrylic yarn and crochet hook, and let's get started!
Step 1: Making the Slip Knot and Chain
To begin, gather your materials - acrylic yarn in the color of your choice, a 5.5 millimeter crochet hook, and a free pattern (link provided in the description box). Start by making a slip knot and chaining three. Slip stitch to join on the first chain, making sure to remember that the chain one does not count as a stitch. Next, make eight single crochets in the middle of the circle. Pull the middle part tight to ensure you have eight stitches. Slip stitch in the first chain made and chain one.
Step 2: Creating the Initial Round
For round two, make an increase of two single crochets in each stitch, resulting in a total of 16 single crochets. Remember, the chain one does not count as a stitch. Slip stitch to join and chain one for round three.
Step 3: Increasing the Number of Stitches
In round three, make a single crochet in the same stitch and two single crochets in the next chain. Repeat this pattern throughout the round until you reach the very first chain, resulting in a total of 24 stitches. Slip stitch to join and chain one for round four.
Step 4: Continuing the Increase
Repeat the pattern from round three in round four, making one single crochet followed by an increase in the next chain. Continue this pattern until the end of the round, resulting in a total of 32 stitches. Slip stitch and join, then chain one for round five.
Step 5: Adding More Stitches
In round five, make a single crochet in the same chain, followed by two single crochets in the next two chains. Repeat this pattern throughout the round, resulting in a total of 40 stitches. Slip stitch to join and chain one for round six.
Step 6: Shaping the Hat
For round six, make a single crochet in the same chain, followed by eight single crochets in the next eight stitches. Repeat this pattern, making nine single crochets in total with an increase at the end of each repeat. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the round, resulting in 44 stitches. From round seven to ten, simply make rounds of single crochet to shape the hat.
Step 7: Adjusting the Length
At round 11, chain one and make a single crochet in the same chain. Make a single crochet in the next nine stitches, followed by an increase. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, resulting in 48 stitches. Continue with rounds 12 to 15 by making rounds of single crochet, adjusting the length of your hat as desired.
Step 8: Adding the Brim
Once you've reached round 16, make a chain one and a single crochet in the same chain. Make an increase in the next stitch, then repeat this pattern throughout the round, resulting in 72 stitches. Slip stitch to join and end round 16. For round 17, simply make a round of single crochet with 72 stitches.
