Here's a hat I crochet, and patterns for the "junk" I added to it. I wrote the patterns after I made the "junk" so if there's anything wrong with the patterns let me know but they're simple enough that you could probably do them on your own but just in case, or to give you ideas to make your very own "junk", here's my patterns...
For starters I crocheted the hat for which the pattern can be found for free PDF download from the Coats & Clark website HERE as t.v. project #WR1065.
The hat is fun and easy to make, takes no time at all. They go great with Fat Bottom Bags, by the way, in case you were thinking of Christmas gifts for someone special... I gave a few sets of hats and bags away last year for Christmas and everyone said they really loved them a lot. ;-)
Patterns For Hat Junk:
1. (Can't remember where I learned this pattern a long time ago, will post credits as soon as I figure it out. Posting from memory, as I crochet it from memory.)
This is for the swirly leafy thingies on either side of the rest of the hat junk:
With size 10 thread and size 11 steel crochet hook, ch 28. sc in second chain from hook and in each ch across to last ten chains, then 2 sc in every other ch to end.
Row 2: ch 4, (skip 1 sc, dc in next) across (work will have bend in the end you increased sc's)
Row 3: ch 1, (sc in next dc, 3dc in ch 1 sp, sc in next dc) across end with sc in last dc . Fasten off, weave in ends but don't trim - use them to sew onto hat.
2. White Flower: ch 6, join to first ch with sl st. ch 4, (dc, ch 1) X 11 inside ring, join to third ch of beg ch with sl st. Round 2: ch 1, (sc, dc, sc) all in next ch 1 sp around, join to first sc with sl st. Round 3: ch 2, sc in BACK of first petal made (in Round 2) using two dc posts, ch 3, **sc in back posts of next dc (in next group), ch 3, repeat from ** around, ending with sl st into first sc made. Round 4: sl st into first ch 3 sp, ch 1, **(sc, hdc, 3dc, hdc, sc) all in same ch 3 sp, repeat from ** around end with sl st in first sc made to join. Fasten off, weave in ends. Don't trim off center tail (beginning thread) so you can use it to sew flower onto hat.
That's it for now, I can't seem to bring myself to write anymore patterns right now, these were written before my mother passed away. Another one I had written is for a hat band, posted following this post. Thank you for your understanding, support, and encouragement in this very difficult time for me.
