Introduction
Welcome to this week's tutorial where I will be showing you how to create a unique and feral hat. This hat is a fun and quirky project that will surely catch people's attention. So, grab your materials and let's get started!
Materials Needed
To make this hat, you will need the following materials:
- Medium weight hot pink yarn
- 5mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Polyfill stuffing
Starting the Hat
To begin making the hat, we will start with a magic circle. This technique involves wrapping the yarn around your fingers to create a looping circle. Once you have the magic circle, you will chain two to secure it. Next, you will put 10 half double crochets into the center of the circle. Pull the short tail to close the circle.
Increasing the Stitches
In the next rows, we will be increasing the stitches to create a larger base for the hat. Each row will have a set pattern of half double crochets and increases. We will continue this pattern for a few rows until we reach the desired width of the hat.
Finishing the Hat Section
Once we have completed the desired width for the hat, we will finish off the hat section with a slip stitch. Cut a short tail and pull it through to secure the stitches. Set this piece aside for now.
Creating the Heart Shape
Now, we will move on to creating the heart shape that will be attached to the hat. Using the pink yarn and the 5mm crochet hook, we will start with a magic circle. Chain two to secure it. Put eight half double crochets into the circle. Pull the small tail to close the circle.
Attaching the Heart to the Hat
After completing the heart, we will now attach it to the hat. Both the hat section and the heart have the same number of stitches, making it easy to combine them. Using slip stitches, connect the two pieces together. Make a total of 12 slip stitches to securely attach the heart to the hat.
Stuffing the Heart
Before closing up the heart, we will stuff it with polyfill stuffing. Fill it firmly, but not too much that it bulges out. We want to maintain the shape of the heart while also ensuring it fits your head comfortably.
Continuing with the Hat
After stuffing the heart, we will continue expanding the hat by adding more rows of stitches. The number of stitches will depend on the desired size of the hat. Follow the pattern of half double crochets and increases to gradually increase the size of the hat.
Finalizing the Hat
Once you are satisfied with the width of the hat, we will finish it off by closing up the stitches. Cut a short tail and perform slip stitches in each stitch around. This will create a secure and snug fit for the hat. Weave in the ends to tidy up the hat.
