Lacy Hat

If you would like to read my thoughts on beanies go to the Giving the Beans to Beanies post.

A comfortable beanie made with lacy stitches to give it something different to ordinary beanie hats. Make in any colour you like, why not make more than one and have one to match every outfit. Fits most head sizes, for a larger head or looser fit use a chunkier yarn and a larger hook.

Difficulty and Terminology: This is an easy pattern and uses US terminology.

What You Will Need: 2 balls of double knit (8 ply) weight yarn 5.5mm crochet hook (for a small to medium adult woman’s head. Use a larger hook for larger heads) Tapestry needle (to weave in ends)

Tension:

14 sts/8 rounds = 10 cm/4 inches square in dc without turning at the end of each round.

Sizing: The hat has a circumference of about 58cm and about 21cm from tip to brim.

Abbreviations: ch - chain sc - single crochet

dc - double crochet

slst - slip stitch
