~ Erica's hat ~


Erica asked me to crochet her a hat - nothing fancy - just a plain, closed stitch hat - so I came up with this.

Materials:
- approximately 3 oz. worsted weight yarn (I used RHSS)
- size I crochet hook


Size: 7 3/4" from top to bottom

Notes:
- I crochet tight so you may want to adjust the size of the crochet hook
- ch 2 at beginning of rnds does not count as a st.
- fp dc = front post dc

Directions:
Rnd 1: Ch 3, 12 dc in 3rd ch from hook. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. (12 dc)

Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in each dc around. Join as before. (24 dc)

Rnd 3: Ch 2, 2 dc in 1st dc, fp dc around next dc. *2 dc in next dc, fp dc around next dc.  Repeat from * around. Join as before.

Rnd 4: Ch 2, 2 dc in 1st dc, dc in next dc, fp dc around next dc. *2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, fp dc around next dc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.

Rnd 5: Ch 2, 2 dc in 1st dc, dc in next 2 dc, fp dc around next dc. *2 dc in next dc, dc in next 2 dc, fp dc around next dc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.
