Crochet Cozy Ruffle Hat Pattern

This pattern involves making a snug-fitting base and then adding delightful wavy ruffles around the brim, which are perfect for giving the hat a playful and chic look. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned crocheter, making a Ruffle Hat is a great way to practice your skills and end up with a unique and personalized accessory.

Materials Needed:

2 skeins of polyester yarn (Chenille type, medium weight)
Size 6 or 7 mm crochet hook (using 6.5 mm)
Stitch marker
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Measuring tape

Pattern:

Round 1:

Start with a magic circle.
Work a single crochet (counted as your first half double crochet) inside the circle.
Work a second half double crochet, then place your stitch marker on top of this stitch.
Continue to work 10 more half double crochet stitches inside the circle.

Total: 12 half double crochet stitches.

Perform a slip stitch to close off the round, insert the hook where the stitch marker is placed.
Make one chain to secure the round and pull tight. Remove the stitch marker.
Close off the magic circle gently to avoid snipping or breaking the yarn.

Round 2:

Start in the loop where the round was closed off.
Do a single crochet and then a half double crochet in the same stitch.
Take your stitch marker and mark this second stitch.
For every stitch around, place 2 half double crochets. Total: 24 half double crochet stitches.
Close off with a slip stitch where the stitch marker is placed, then chain one and fasten off.

Round 3:

Repeat the starting steps as in Round 2.
Work one half double crochet in the next stitch, then an increase (2 half double crochets in the same stitch) in the following stitch.
Repeat this sequence (one half double crochet followed by an increase) around the circle. Total: 36 half double crochet stitches.
Close off with a slip stitch, chain one to fasten off tight.

For Round 4 (Last Round of the Base):

Start with a single crochet followed by a half double crochet in the next stitch.
In the third stitch, perform an increase (2 half double crochets in the same stitch).
Continue this pattern (two half double crochets followed by an increase) until the end of the round.
Close off with a slip stitch, then chain one and pull tight.

Body of the Hat (Next 5 Rounds):

For the next 5 rounds, place single half double crochets in each stitch around with no increases.
This creates a bag or dome-like shape for the hat.
After 5 rounds, measure the body of the hat to ensure it is between 3.5 to 3.75 inches long. Adjust if necessary by adding another round.

Brim (Ruffles Part):

For the ruffles, work 3 rounds in double crochets, starting each round in the front loop only.

First Round of Ruffles: Place 3 double crochets in each stitch around.
Second Round: Alternate between two double crochets in one stitch and one double crochet in the next.
Third Round: Work one double crochet in each stitch around with no increases.
