Pattern Notes

This is a very simple dishcloth pattern. I started creating word dishcloth patterns shortly after I did a knit version for an order. It’s so fun to be able to create a crochet version that my crochet friends will enjoy. You will only use the DC ST and a CH to create the letters to the word.

Please note that the CH STS will count as a ST.

In order to line up my DC ST a little more in the beginning of each RW I skip the CH 2 STs and the 1St ST and start the DC in the 4th ST directly over the DC below. Then follow the pattern for the RW and your final ST should be placed in the CH 2 ST from the RW below.

DC (Double crochet) – YO, insert hook into next ST, YO, pull through ST (3 loops on hook), YO, Pull through 2 loops, (2 loops on hook), YO, pull through all loops on hook.

Here we go:

Simple Souch

Happy Friday everyone.  Welcome to the final pattern in my learn to crochet series.  You will find Simple Crochet Cloth was the first pattern in this series and we concentrated on the Single Crochet stitch.  The second pattern was the Teez Bandana Scarf which we concentrated on using the Half Double Crochet stitch.  We are now working on the Double Crochet stitch and learning to work in the round.  We will also use the single crochet stitch again to create the band all while still working in the round.  These 3 patterns give you all the most common basic stitches.  Of course there are hundreds of other cool stitches and items to make with crochet.  The options are limitless!

I decided to create and share this series with you all because I love yarn, I love teaching and sharing my knowledge and it fills me with joy to see people create something especially when its something that I have personally inspired them to create.  I feel that this journey is just beginning for me and you will soon find so much more being shared for you all.

Now lets learn to make a hat together!

What you need:

Size 6mm/J for this teen/adult size

Roughly 120 yards medium 4 worsted weight yarn, I have used Vanna’s Choice Lion Brand and Bernat Premium.

Yarn, crochet hooks and scissors if you wish you may want to add a Faux Fur Pompom and a button

SL ST – Slip Stitch                          DC – Double Crochet

CH – Chain                                       RND – Round

SC – Single Crochet                       RPT – Repeat

YO – Yarn over                              ST – Stitch

RW – Row

Gauge:

Width: 3 ST = 1″

Length: 2 RW = 1″

Pattern Notes

This Simple Slouch was named the Simple Slouch for just that reason. It is a simple, easy and beginner friendly pattern I created to go in my learn to crochet series. This pattern is worked in the round and you will only use the DC (double crochet) and SC (single crochet) stitch. You will not count the CH (chain 1) in the beginning of each round as a stitch). You will work your first stitch in the same space as your CH 1 (chain 1) and SL ST (Slip stitch). If you are more familiar with crochet and prefer to start your hat with the magic circle you may also do that and I have included a video I used to learn how to create the magic circle below.

DC (Double crochet) – YO, insert hook into next ST, YO, pull through ST (3 loops on hook), YO, Pull through 2 loops, (2 loops on hook), YO, pull through all loops on hook.

Photos to refer to are at the bottom of the pattern.

Here we go:

RND7 – CH 1, DC in the same ST as CH 1, DC in each ST around, SL ST to top of the 1ST DC (60)

RND 8-18 – Rpt RND 7

Band (work this part loosely or your band may work up to be to small)

RND 19 – CH 1, SC in the same ST as CH 1, SC in each ST around, SL ST to top of 1ST SC (60)

SC – insert hook into stitch

YO

 

pull through the stitch (2 loops on hook)

YO

 

pull through both loops on hook

 

RND 20-24 – RPT RND 19

CH 1, cut a 5″ tail and weave in all loose ends. You may then add a pompom and or button if you wish.

To close the top of the hat tightly go through all the stitches in the 1ST round 3 times pull tight and cut!

When you weave the yarn end in on the band of the hat go in the center of the next stitch so you are now working in your last row of stitches.  Weave the yarn in about 3 to 4 stitches back and forth 3 times.  This will ensure your yarn end won’t come loose and unravel.  Then trim your yarn end off.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy making these Hats as much as I do and that you learned something new today.
