​Red Summer Hat for Lady

You’ll need:

150g of yarn (50% cotton, 50% polyarcyl; 80m/50g);

150g of the same yarn, but mélange grey-turquoise color;

100g of yarn (78% cotton, 22% polyesther; 100m/50g);

Crochet hooks 3,5 and 4.

Used Patterns

Weaver pattern: due to the scheme.

There are 12 rows stated on the scheme. 13^th and all the following rows contains only part of the motif. Use it for working on the whole row. Finish each row with 1 slip st in the 1^st chain st.

Repeat the pattern of 19 rows on all the sts. Make the turn between rows due to the scheme.

Make the round rows, containing “weaver pattern” with blue yarn, use mélange yarn for the rest rows. Make the last slip st of the last round row with with blue yarn and join mélange yarn to the 3^rd chain sts of the last weaver behind every round row.

Make 1^st-19^th rows once, then, repeat 16^th-19^th rows, making increases due to the description below.

Stitches control: 20 sts of the set-up row (without weaver pattern) x 12 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Make 8 chain sts with mélange yarn and circle them in the ring with 1 slip st. Continue work due to the scheme, making increases.

After making 12 rows (10 cm), you’ve finished 29 pattern repeats and 116 sts. This is the middle of your hat.

13^th-22^nd rows: crochet straight, without increases.

23^rd row: * 2 single crochets from every 4^th base st*; repeat from * to * x 28 times. (144 sts);

27^th row: * 2 single crochets from every 4^th base st*; repeat from * to * x 36 times. (180 sts);

31^st row: * 2 single crochets from every 4^th base st*; repeat from * to * x 44 times. (224 sts);

35^th row: (* 2 single crochets from every 6^th base st*; repeat from * to * x 8 times, 2 single crochets from every 8^th base st) – repeat (***) x 3 times. You should get 260 sts = 65 pattern repeats.

At 30 cm (36 rows) finish your work.
