This patter is also available on Instagram!

You will need:

3.5 mm or 4 mm crochet hook
Salmon colour yarn recommended for the hook
Scissors
Needle and string
Pompon or anything you want to use for decoration of the hat

Abbreviations:

ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
st – stitch
sc – single crochet
dec – 2 sc together (used to decrease the number of stitches)
X 6 – repeat 6 times
at the end of every round total number of stitches is shown in brackets

Instructions:

We start with the ribbing, make 5 ch (the last, 5th ch is a turning ch)
Rounds 1-36: sc in next 4 st IN BACK LOOPS ONLY, 1 turning ch (4)

Round 36: now we are going to close the rubber. Insert the hook in the last st of the last and the first rounds at the same time, make sl st in next 4 st (4)

Now we are crocheting the “body” of the hat. So I start counting the rounds again.
