4.00mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
[adsemse]
Abbreviations:
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
Special Stitch Instruction:
back-loop-sc = insert hook in back loop only and make single crochet
cluster = (yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru 2 loops on hook) 2 times, yarn over and pull yarn thru all 4 loops on hook.
cluster-tog = (yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru 2 loops on hook) 2 times, then (yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru 2 loops on hook) 2 times in next ch1 sp, yarn over and pull yanr thru all 5 loops on hook.
beg-cluster-tog = ch2, yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru 2 loops on hook, (yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru stitch, yarn over, pull yarn thru 2 loops on hook) 2 times in next ch1 sp, yarn over and pull yanr thru all 4 loops on hook.
Instruction:
Brim:
Row1: ch9, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across. Turn.
Row2-100: ch1(do not count as sc), back-loop-sc in each sc. Turn.
Fold brim in half and sl st in each sc and beginning chan to join.
It should be look like large ring.
Turn the work 90degree.
Body of hat:
worked in continuous rounds. DO NOT turn at the end of a round.
Skip all cluster.
Round1: ch2(count as one dc of cluster), [ch1, skip 1row of brim, 1cluster in next row] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (you should have 50 cluster).
Round2: ch2(count as one dc of cluster), *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 9times, [ch1, (1cluster, ch1, 1cluster) in next ch1 sp, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 9times] repeat around, 1cluster in the same sp as beginning cluster, end with 1sc in first cluster. (55cluster)
Round3: ch2(count as one dc of cluster), *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 10times, [ch1, (1cluster, ch1, 1cluster) in next ch1 sp, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 10times] repeat around, 1cluster in the same sp as beginning cluster, end with 1sc in first cluster. (60cluster)
Round4: ch2(count as one dc of cluster), [ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (60cluster)
Round5: ch2(count as one dc of cluster), [ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp] repeat around, ch1, sl st in beginning cluster, and sl st in next ch1 sp. (60cluster)
Round6-8: repeat round4 and round5. (60cluster)
Round9: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 8times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 8times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (54cluster)
Round10: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 7times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 7times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (48cluster)
Round11: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 6times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 6times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (42cluster)
Round12: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 5times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 5times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (36cluster)
Round13: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 4times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 4times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (30cluster)
Round14: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 3times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 3times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (24cluster)
Round15: beg-cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 2times, [ch1, cluster-tog, *ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp* 2times] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (18cluster)
Round16: beg-cluster-tog, ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp, [ch1, cluster-tog, ch1, 1cluster in next ch1 sp] repeat around, end with 1sc in beginning cluster. (12cluster)
Round17: bef-cluster-tog, and cluster-tog around, sl st in beginning cluster.
Fasten off. Weave ends.
