Textured Rows Crochet Hat Free Pattern – 11 Sizes

"The Textured Rows Crochet Hat is a free crochet hat pattern available in 11 sizes, from Preemie through Adult Large. This hat is worked from the top down and features rows of bobble stitches that create a textured design. With sizes for babies, children, teens, and adults, you can make hats for the whole family using the same pattern. I made my hat using Caron Cloud Cakes in Royal Treatment, a Medium Weight Yarn [4] made from 100% polyester. The yarn has gradual color changes that work well with the textured stitch pattern. You can also use another yarn that meets the pattern gauge. The pattern uses a 4 mm (G) crochet hook and includes double crochet, single crochet, and bobble stitches. The bobbles are created using a dc4tog stitch worked into a single stitch. I've included a photo tutorial to help you make this stitch if you haven't worked it before. The hat begins at the crown and is crocheted in one piece. After completing the increase rounds, you'll work repeating sections of double crochet and bobble stitches to create the textured rows. Each of the 11 sizes has its own complete set of written instructions, so you can follow the directions for your chosen size without having to keep track of multiple stitch counts. The finished hat is designed to reach the base of the earlobe. The pattern includes approximately 2 inches of negative ease, which helps the hat fit comfortably around the head. If you prefer a longer hat, you can add more repeat rounds before finishing. This crochet hat is a practical project for making winter accessories, gifts for family and friends, and hats for everyday wear. The Textured Rows Crochet Hat also coordinates with my Textured Rows Crochet Scarf. Both patterns use Caron Cloud Cakes in Royal Treatment, making it easy to create a matching hat and scarf set. The free pattern includes a complete supply list, gauge information, finished measurements for all 11 sizes, helpful notes, and written instructions using US crochet terminology.
