Teresa’s 10 Minute Crochet Preemie Hat

Materials:

G Hook

Worsted Weight Yarn

**I have timed this pattern and it actually only takes me 10 minutes to make a hat. How simple can you get J

This hat is worked in the round – do not turn after each row.

Ch 3

Rnd 1: 12 dc in 3^rd chain from the hook, join with a sl st to beginning ch 3.

Rnd 2: Ch 2, dc in same stitch as ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch around, join with sl st to beginning ch 2.

Rnd 3: Ch 2, dc in each dc around, join with sl st to beginning ch 2.

Rnd 4-7: Repeat row 3.

Rnd 8: Ch 1, sl st in each dc around, join with sl st to beginning ch 1, fasten off. Weave in ends.

Rnd 8 Variations:

Ch 1, reverse sc around, join & fasten off.
Ch 1, sc around, join & fasten off.
Ch 1, sc, *ch 1, sc*, repeat * around, join & fasten off.

This is an excellent pattern to use up scraps, just make each row, a different color, or make hat one color and Rnd 8 a different color. Just be creative!

Using 1 strand of yarn, cast on using the “E” method.

Wrap pegs again – now you have 2 rows on pegs.

Wrap yarn all around again and knit off as before.

Continue this until you have completed 10 rows.

Now for the cuff: lift the cast on row up through center of loom and place

The stitches on the pegs – one stitch at a time creating two stitches on pegs.

Knit this row off and your brim is completed.

Wrap yarn around again and knit off as before.

Continue this until you have completed 14 rows.

Now to finish off: remove hat from loom with the gathering method –

You can add a pompom or tassels if you wish – if not you are done J
