Supplies

---

Yarn:

Any yarn that is specified for hook needle size 5 mm, should work well with this pattern.

I crochet loose, so please keep that in mind with gauge.

I used:

Big Delight color 09 - Atlantis for the Hat - 1 skein

and

Drops Nepal for the example pictures in the pattern

SC 10x10cm (4”x4”) = 17st x 22 rows

HDC 10x10cm (4”x4”) = 13st x 11 rows

DC 10x10cm (4”x4”) = 11st x 8 rows

Hook needle 5mm

Yarn needle to weave in ends

Stitches used:

MC - Magic Circle

CH - Chain

SLST - Slip Stitch

SC - Single Crochet

HDC - Half Double Crochet

FPHDC - Front Post Half Double Crochet

DC - Double Crochet

DC2 - This pattern is worked with 2DC cluster. This is the same as DC2tog in the same stitch. I will call it DC2 in this pattern.

Every round is joined with a SLST to first DC2.

The b round is joined with first CH and first DC of previous round.

Every “a” round starts with CH2 and DC, this will count as your first DC2.

Size: Teen/Adult

If you would like a smaller size, remove increase rounds. It’s best to stop increasing on even rounds, otherwise you will have an odd number of DC2’s in between zigzags. It is possible to work with an odd number, you just have to SLST around 2 posts instead of 1. See row 4b.
