Jamie Motif Hat | Free Crochet Pattern
Nov
This hat uses a simple square shape to create a streamlined design that will make a welcome gift for anyone in your life. In this hat, a traditional square motif is used, which is then converted to a hexagon to shape the top crown of the hat. The unisex design is sized by adjusting the gauge of the motifs.
What you will need:
- 142 (156, 172, 189)yds or 130 (142.6, 157.3, 172.8)m #3 dk weight yarn
- D/3 (3mm), G/6 (4mm), H/8 (5mm), J/10 (6.0mm) crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Gauge:
Each motif is 2.5 (3, 3.5, 4) in or 6.35 (7.62, 8.9, 10.2)cm square after blocking to make hat sizes 15 (18, 21, 24) in or 38.1 (45.7, 53.3, 61)cm circumference.
Note: Size of hat is based on gauge size of individual motifs. Make sure your motif is the correct size after blocking.
Finished Sizes:
15 (18, 21, 24) in or 38.1 (45.7, 53.3, 61)cm circumference.
7.25 (8.5, 9.75, 11) in or 18.4 (21.6, 24.8, 27.9)cm tall.
