How to Crochet a Hat with Butterfly Motif

Hi there everyone,
I am very happy with the way my hat turned out so am sharing it with you. Remember that the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on the pattern. The whole hat is done in hdc except for the border which you can do in hdc or in the back or forward post hdc like I did.

How to Crochet a Hat with a Butterfly Motif

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

P = pink  W=white

This hat is done in half a double crochet – hdc all the way.

I used caron simply soft yarn with a size 6.5 (k) hook.

The numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on this written pattern

1.  Ch 4, ss into the 1^st ch to form a ring

2.  Ch2, 7hdc in the ring = 8hdc, ss into the 1^st ch of the ch2

3.  Ch2 (stands as 1^st hdc) 1hdc in the same sp, *2hdc in each st*, repeat to the end,  ss into 1^st ch = 16hdc

4.  Ch2 (for 1^st hdc), 1hdc in the same sp, 1hdc in the next st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in the next st* rep to end – 24 hdc, ss into 1^st st

5.  Ch2, 1hdc in the same st, 1hdc in next st, 1hdc in the  next st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in the next st, 1hdc in the next st* to the end = 32 hdc, ss into 1^st st

6. Ch2, 1hdc in next st, 1hdc in the next, 1hdc in the next, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 3st* to the end = 40hdc, ss into 1^st st

7.  Ch2, 1hdc in each of the next 4st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 4 st* to the end = 48st, ss into1st st

8.  Ch2, 1 hdc in each of the next 5st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 5st* to the end =56st, ss into 1^st st

9. Ch2, 1hdc in each of the next 6st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 6st* to the end = 64st, ss into 1^st st

You need to repeat each row twice – P = pink  W =white

10.   Crochet 15p stitches, 1w, 3p, 1w, 12p – repeat this again. Make sure you end with exactly 12 pink stitches

10. You need to repeat each row twice      P = pink  W =white
