The Instructions Are for an Adult Male Size

BASIC WINTER HAT

The instructions are for an Adult male size

(this is the size I typically make)

This is the first time I have written instructions for a pattern. It is based on a pattern listed on a BethinTx1 Youtube video. Beth has given me permission to write these instructions out since she did not have any written instructions.

I am sure you can shorten the chain length as well as the amount of rows you crochet so that hat will fit a baby, toddler, child, tween or woman. Should you have any questions about this pattern, do not hesitate to let me know. My email is

This pattern takes 1 skein of medium worst weighted yarn (example: Red Heart Supersaver Yarn)

I used a crochet hook size H

Chain 50 (55 if you want it a bit longer)

Row 1: Slip stitch in first 3 stitches. Single Crochet in next 5 stitches. Half Double Crochet in remaining stitches. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 2: Half Double Crochet in first stitch. In remaining stitches of the row work in Back Loops only. Half Double Crochet in next 41 stitches. Single Crochet in next 5 stitches. Slip stitch in final 3 stitches. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 3: Remembering to work in back loops only until you get to the last stitch of the row. slip stitch in first 3 stitches. Single crochet in next 5 stitches. Half Double Crochet in next 41 stitches. Half double crochet in complete stitch of row.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you reach 18 inches ending with row 2.

Leave a long length of yarn when finishing off so that you may use it to sew the sides together.

Sew the two long ends together using a tapestry needle. I overlap the two ends so that it looks like it is ribbed as the remaining rows are. I then sew through the outer most part of each loop going down the long part of the hat.

To close the top of the hat, turn it inside out. Take a long piece of yarn and weave through the chain 1’s at the top. Once you have come back around pull the thread so you have even lengths and start pulling the top snug. This will take some doing and be careful not to pull to hard at first otherwise you will break your yarn. Once you have the hole closed tie a square no and weave in your threads clipping off any excess.

Turn your hat right side out and you should be done!
