ADULT BUNNY HAT PATTERN:

*working from the bottom up*

BRIM

CH 6 and turn

ROW 1 SC in the 2nd stitch from your hook and in every stitch to the end (5 SC)

CH 1 and Turn

ROWS 2-68 SCBLO in the 2nd stitch from your hook and in every stitch

to the end (5 SC) CH 1 and Turn

*You will want to lay your piece flat at this point, without stretching it out and measure

It should measure 17-18” long (it will stretch for up to 22” for around the head.

Then, bring both ends together and SL ST together to make the piece a circle. This is going to be the brim of your hat.

Now you’re going to work on top of the circle (the sides of your stitches).

BODY OF HAT

ROW 1 CH 1 and SC evenly around the circle, about 68-70 SC. Your stitch number may vary depending on the size of your circle, it’s ok! It will still decrease fine 

Join to the beginning of this row with a SL ST

ROW 2 – 7 CH 2 and DC in every stitch around (about 68)

ROW 8 CH2 *DC in the first 5 ST, DC2TOG in the next 2 ST* Repeat this all the way around, DC2TOG after every 5 DC, SL ST to the first stitch from the this row then CH 2 to start the next row

ROW 9 *DC in the first 4 ST, DC2TOG in the next 2 ST* Repeat this all the way around, DC2TOG after every 4 DC, SL ST to the first stitch from the this row then CH 2 to start the next row

ROW 10 *DC in the first 3 ST, DC2TOG in the next 2 ST* Repeat this all the way around, DC2TOG after every 3 DC, SL ST to the first stitch from the this row then CH 2 to start the next row

ROW 11 *DC in the first 2 ST, DC2TOG in the next 2 ST* Repeat this all the way around, DC2TOG after every 2 DC, SL ST to the first stitch from the this row then CH 2 to start the next row

ROW 12 *DC in the first ST then DC2TOG the next 2 ST* Repeat this all the way around, DC2TOG every other ST with DC in between, SL ST to the first stitch from the this row then CH 2 to start the next row

ROW 13 SC2TOG all the way around.

At this point, you should only have a few stitches left for the top of the hat, if there’s more than 6 stitches, SC2TOG one more row. Once you’re down to about 6-8 stitches for the top, cut and pull your yarn through and weave around the remaining stitches to close up the top. Weave in your ends.
