The Easiest Worst Hat Ever Crocheting Tutorial

In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet the easiest worsted hat ever. This pattern comes in seven different sizes, making it suitable for everyone. All you need are some basic supplies and the willingness to learn. Let's get started!

Materials Required

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. You will need:

• Worsted weight yarn (approximately 153 yards)
• 5.25mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Now that we have everything we need, let's move on to the next step.

Creating a Slipknot and Chaining

To start, create a slipknot with the yarn of your choice. Insert your crochet hook into the slipknot and pull on the working yarn to cinch down the slipknot slightly. Now, chain 38 by yarn over and pulling the yarn through the loop on your hook. Remember that the loop on your hook never counts as a chain. Continue chaining until you have 38 chains.

Single Crocheting the First Row

Now that you have 38 chains, we can begin with the first row. Single crochet into the second chain from the hook, inserting your hook and grabbing the yarn to pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook. Continue single crocheting into each chain until you reach the end.

Half Double Crocheting the Remaining Chains

For the remaining chains in the first row, we will be half double crocheting. Yarn over, insert your hook into the chain, grab the yarn and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through all three loops on your hook. Repeat this process for each chain until you reach the end.

Half Double Crocheting Back Loop Only

Now, we move on to the second row. In this row, we will be half double crocheting back loop only. Yarn over and grab only the back loop of each stitch. This creates a beautiful texture for our hat. Continue half double crocheting back loop only until you have only two stitches remaining. For these last two stitches, single crochet back loop only.

Repeating Rows 2 and 3

From this point on, we will repeat rows 2 and 3 until we have completed 38 rows. Remember to chain 1 and turn at the end of each row. This will create the desired pattern and size for our hat.

Folding the Hat and Closing the Opening

Once you have completed the 38 rows, your work should measure approximately 19 inches across and 11 inches tall. Now, fold the hat, making sure that the ribs are going up and down, not side to side. To close the opening, you can either slip stitch it closed or use a yarn needle to sew it closed.

Sewing the Top of the Hat Closed

To sew the top of the hat closed, grab your yarn needle and a small piece of yarn. Start at the spot where the hat was previously slip stitched or sewn closed and insert the needle into each rib of the hat. Continue sewing in this manner until you reach the very end. This method will create a smooth closure with no holes at the top of the hat.

Adding a Pom Pom

If desired, you can add a pom pom to your hat for a fun and stylish touch. Attach the strings of the pom pom to the hat by going on each side of the hat and pulling the strings through. Secure the strings by tying a knot or adding a bow. You can also sew the pom pom into place for extra security.
