Crochet Hat Pattern – The Ivy Hat

December 17, 2019 by Maria Weaber Leave a Comment

Find the free crochet hat pattern to view on my blog below.

This crochet hat pattern offers great texture in a bottom up structure. With some shaping at the top, this hat does not have too much extra fabric when sewing the top of the hat closed.

Crochet Hat Pattern Using Worsted Weight Yarn

I opted to use worsted weight yarn for this crochet hat design because it’s always readily available in my stash.

The texture of the stitches also show up nicely with the worsted weight yarn. It almost resembles a puff or popcorn stitch but without the gaps in between the stitches, so the worsted weight yarn will be adequate in keeping your head warm!

Plump Posts Stitch

The main stitch used in this hat was found in the Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary. This is a new crochet stitch book for me, and I am loving it!

Included with the basic instructions of each stitch, it also gives instructions on how to increase the stitch which is a must have for designers like myself!

This stitch caught my eye immediately. It gives a nice puffy texture, but does not leave any gaps in between since the puffy stitches are worked in the rows below.

Ivy Crochet Hat Pattern Tips/Notes

I’m adding some photos/tips for this pattern to hopefully make it a little more visual and helpful!

crochet tutorial
When working double crochets around the brim, try to work into the same two spots around the brim. There is a space that will be clearly visible with one loop, work a double crochet down below that space indicated by the arrow in the photo. This will eliminate any “hole-y” looks.

After turning your work after each row for the body of the hat, the arrow is pointing to the first stitch you will work into.
