How To Crochet Puff Stitch Hat

Materials Needed:

• 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Chunky Yarn (King Cole, Cotswolds chunky in the color Campbell)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Marker
• Pom-pom maker (optional)

Pattern:

Step 1: Creating the Band

1. Slip Knot & Chain: Start with a slipknot and chain 7.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet (SC). Continue working SC across the chain. You should have 6 SC in total. Chain 1 and turn.
3. Row 2 onwards: Work in the back loops only. SC across the row, ensuring you don’t miss the last stitch to maintain 6 stitches throughout. Chain 1 and turn at the end of each row.Repeat this row until the band measures about 20 inches or fits comfortably around your head.

Step 2: Joining the Band

4. Join Band: Fold the band ensuring it’s not twisted. Slip stitch the two short sides together to form a ring.

Step 3: Starting Puff Stitches

5. Chain 2: After joining, chain 2 (does not count as a stitch).
6. First Puff Stitch:
   • Yarn over and insert the hook into the next stitch.
   • Pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
   • Repeat the yarn over and pull up a loop 3 more times (total 4 times). You should have 9 loops on the hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on the hook.
   • Chain 1 to secure the puff stitch.
7. Continue Puff Stitches:
   • Skip one stitch and work the next puff stitch in the following stitch.
   • Repeat puff stitches all the way around.

Step 4: Working in Continuous Rounds

8. Continuous Rounds:
   • Instead of slip stitching, continue working puff stitches in the spaces between puff stitches of the previous round.
   • Use a stitch marker if necessary to mark the beginning of each round.
   • Continue working puff stitches until you complete 7 rounds.

Step 5: Decreasing

9. Decrease Round 1:
   • Work 4 puff stitches, then a decrease (work two puff stitches together). Repeat this pattern (4 puff stitches, 1 decrease) around.
10. Decrease Round 2:
    • Work 3 puff stitches, then a decrease. Repeat this pattern (3 puff stitches, 1 decrease) around.
11. Decrease Round 3:
    • Work 2 puff stitches, then a decrease. Repeat this pattern (2 puff stitches, 1 decrease) around.
12. Decrease Round 4:
    • Work 1 puff stitch, then a decrease. Repeat this pattern (1 puff stitch, 1 decrease) around.
13. Final Decrease Round:
    • Work decreases only (no single puff stitches) around.

Step 6: Closing the Top

14. Finish Off:
    • Slip stitch into the next stitch.
    • Chain 1, cut the yarn, and pull through tightly.
    • Using the yarn needle, sew the top opening closed by weaving the yarn through the remaining stitches and pulling tight.
    • Secure and weave in the ends.

Step 7: Adding a Pom-Pom (Optional)

15. Pom-Pom:
    • Optional: Create a pom-pom using the pom-pom maker and attach it to the top of the hat.

The hat is now complete! Enjoy wearing your beautiful Puff Stitch Winter Hat or gifting it to someone special!

Tips:

• Mark the beginning of each round with a marker to keep track.
• Always ensure you finish your puff stitches with a chain 1 to secure them properly.
• Be careful with the decreases to maintain the shape and close the hat nicely.
