Strawberry Hat

10/23/2012

2 Comments

 
A few years back, I made hats for all of the nieces and nephews on my husband's side of the family. I will eventually post all of them with directions/links on how I did them and what yarn I used. To start off with, I made this little strawberry hat. When doing the research for strawberry hats, I found a lot of very basic patterns that were straight stockinette stitch or single crochets. Being the person that I am, I had to complicate it a bit and add texture. I found the star stitch and then I found a pattern for a hat using the star stitch. The only changes I made here was I used a G hook and I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in red. Below is the pattern for the brim:

Double Cluster Stitch:
Yo and insert hook from front to back around the post below the last dc, pull up a loop, *yo and pull through 2 loops on hook, repeat from*, skip next dc, insert hook from font to back on the next post, *yo and pull through 2 loops on hook, repeat from*, yo and draw through the 5 loops on hook

After joining the last row, ch2 (counts as first st), dc around, join with sl st

Ch 5, dc in next 2 dc, work Double Cluster Stitch, *dc in same dc and in next 2 dc, work Double Cluster Stitch, repeat from* around, join with sl st

Ch1, sc around, join with sl st

Switch to green, ch1, sc in same st, skip next st, *5 dc in next sc, skip next st, sc in next st, repeat from* around, join with sl st

Now for embellishments!

For the stem, knit a 5 st I-cord of whatever length you like. I just kept going until I could tie a knot. Then sew it to the top

For the leaves, go here and do the basic leaf pattern. I made 5 then sewed them to the hat, overlapping a bit so the red wouldn't show through at the base of the stem.

For the flower, I crocheted a simple one you can find here. The instructions are toward the bottom and it is the purple flower. Add a cute little button when you sew the flower to the hat.

For the curly cue, crochet a chain to the desired length, then do 2sc in the second ch from the hook and do 2sc in every ch to the end. Sew it on next to the flower.

For the seeds, make little V stitches with a yarn needle every 2nd or 3rd stitch along each row.

Sew in the ends and tah dah, you are done!
