Crochet Hat Patterns

The beauty of Crochet Sweater Patterns is that they come in all shapes and sizes and therefore also in all levels of difficulty.  Don’t be put off if you see a pattern with a number of stitches which are unfamiliar there are so many to learn over time.

Now this brings me onto my Handy tips.

1.    Pick a Pattern which has a purpose, this could be a present for someone or for a new baby on the way. A great motivator, is understanding you have a reason to do this not just learning and enjoying crochet.

2.    Don’t be put off by seeing stitches in the pattern we don’t know yet, now’s as good a time to learn them. We will have to learn a lot of stitches over time and most we will forget, we just need to take a look at the instructions now and then and re-learn them as we need them.

3.    Sweater Patterns are unforgiving, so make sure you have sufficient wool before you begin and make sure it is all the same shade. I like to try and get all from the same batch this will make sure the color is an excellent and consistent match

4.    Don’t over stretch check the level of difficulty and be comfortable.

The most popular choice for Crochet Sweater Patterns is of course for new born babies. They can be such a joy to make, don’t need a lot of wool and can be done quickly as we get more experienced.

Here is a quick project for Crochet Shawl Patterns

Materials
•    12 oz. Worsted-weight yarn
•    Size Q (16mm) crochet hook OR SIZE TO OBTAIN GAUGE
Gauge
6 sts and 4 rows to 4″ over Half Double Crochet (hdc) with 2 strands held together and size Q (16mm) hook.
Half Double Crochet (hdc)
1.    Wrap the yarn over the hook and insert hook into the work (into the third chain from the hook at the beginning of rows).
2.    Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through the work only (3 loops are on hook).
3.    Wrap the yarn again and draw through all 3 loops on hook at once.
Slip Stitch (Sl st)
1.    Insert the hook into the work.
2.    Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the work and through the loop on the hook in one movement.

Shawl
To start: Ch 93. Beg with 3rd chain from hook, work hdc into each st-90 sts.
Next row: Turn and decrease 3 sts at beg of row as foll: ch1, sl st into the 2nd st from the hook, sl st into the 3rd st from the hook; work hdc over 85 sts leaving last 3 sts unworked.
Next row: Turn and decrease 3 sts at beg of row as foll: ch1, sl st into the 2nd st from the hook, sl st into the 3rd st from the hook; work hdc over 79 sts leaving last 3 sts unworked.
Continue in this manner decreasing 3 stitches at beginning and 3 stitches at end of row until a total of 15 decrease rows have been worked and there is only 1 st left for last row (this stitch is the center point of the bottom of the triangular shawl). Fasten off.
Finishing
Work single crochet around all edges of shawl. Make fringe along 2 bottom edges as follows: Cut yarn into 10″ lengths; insert crochet hook through edge of shawl from back to front; fold fringe piece in half and place center onto hook; pull loop through work, then insert ends of fringe through loop and pull ends to tighten.
