I was at a loss to think up a NEw Years Project when it occurred to me that one could make a top hat for the celebration. I decided on black yarn, but you could use any color you want. I hope you all have a safe and happy NEW YEAR!
Materials: Two strands fine cotton or ramie 2oz each - black or cotton worsted yarn 4oz or wool or acrylic worsted J crochet hook (or Hook to make the best use of materials) Row 1: chain 6 and then join with slip stitch to form a ring. Row 2: sc around ring Row 3: 2 single crochet in each Row 4: *1 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat ROw 5: *2 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat Row 6: *3 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat Row 7: *4 sc then 2 sc in next stitich* repeat Row 8: *5 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat Row 9: *6 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat Row 10: *7 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat Row 11: *8 sc then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat Then without increasing crochet around building sides as high as you want. Cover your ears. Make brim: increase by sc one stitch the 2 sc in next stitch all around row. Work next five rows even for brim (no more increases). Bind off yarn.
Tie a ribbon around the hat or wear it plain!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
