CROCHET: Crochet a Bohemian Hat Pattern

[@cynthia8022]

I think I have found my favorite crochet teacher here! Your voice is very calming when you speak and you show numerous stitches when showing new segments and techniques and don’t assume we know anything as we move along in the pattern. I really appreciate this as a beginner getting unchallenged by the same afghan over and over again! Your slow, encouraging rhythm and teaching style make me feel I can actually make the projects you teach, which are lovely! Thanks so much!

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Wow, thank you for such a wonderful comment! I'm glad you found your way here and I hope you find lots of inspiration! I actually have a few guided meditations on this channel too because my voice works so well for that. Have fun!

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I agree. She explains everything where it’s very easy to understand.

You are so welcome! This yarn is so amazing for almost any project...have fun!

[@Nellie8516]

I love this! I wonder though could we another repetition of rows to make it bigger, slouching? My daughter likes them that way and she would love this! I gotta make it for her!

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Yes, you could do another pattern repeat to make the hat more slouchy, or a partial pattern repeat... if you have a slouchy hat to compare the height to that would be helpful. Just add rounds until you have the desired height. 👍👌

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I’m new to crocheting and made this. My fail was using a really thick yard. Good thing I have a big head. Hahaha. I hope you make more items like this.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Oh dear... the general rule with yarn is that the thicker it is, the less stitches you need and the finer the yarn, the more stitches you need. Glad it worked out in the end!

[@darlenegreenerogers7809]

Thank you for this tutorial. You are an excellent instructor. My hat is absolutely beautiful!!!

What a wonderful pattern, and good to have the video, just in case. I like the size of it( I've got big hair). Not had to frog at all, which is brilliant for me! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Your video is so easy to follow and I’m now on my second hat! My great grandma was only able to teach me a single crochet. Then a coworker taught me a double. My grandma tried to teach me zig zag but I just couldn’t pick it up and I gave up trying to learn crocheting. Trying this with the video has given me the confidence to try again. :)

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Wow...that is amazing that you did this pattern because it is not exactly a simple design! Well done!!! 👍🙌👌

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

You're welcome! I'm so glad :) There is a matching scarf too!

[@hollyd1208]

❤ this pattern!! I used Red Heart Roll With It Melange in beautiful color Show Time. Your stitches are so beautifully loose and soft. Mine seem a bit tighter but hat came out great! I may try to use two strands and maybe go up a hook size to make a bit chunkier and looser. It's cold here in the winters so maybe doubling up the yarn will fill in holes a bit. Thanks for a beautiful pattern and great tutorial!

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Wonderful...I love the idea of doubling up the yarn. I've thought of doing a tutorial on how to line a crocheted hat with fleece because crochet can be a bit 'airy', and as a result, not so warm. ⛄

[@fritula6200]

Patricia.... this is so good, we actually get to see the finished garment before commencement of knitting it, the viewing is excellence: most often the videos start crocheting the pattern immediately: and that is confusing: NB: ALL VIDEOS SHLD HAVE THE FINISHED ITEM VISIBLE TO US, AND CROCHETER WLD NEED TO POINT TO WHAT LINE THEY ARE DOING, SO ON... ETC: THIS WOULD BE REASSURING!!

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Thank you for your kind comments! I try to be as thorough and straight forward as possible 👍

[@juleedenis3096]

Wow! This hat actually looks like I know what I'm doing and that I'm an advanced crocheter when actually I'm a beginner. Patricia. How did you do that? Thank you soooo much. Great gifts.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

I'm so glad! I did this pattern and the matching scarf when I first started my channel. It was a complicated pattern to design, and I soon learned that because of the amount of work involved in creating tutorials, I had to simplify my designs. So, for the most part, my patterns are much simpler now 😵🤪🥴

[@mahasalhi2178]

Very nice 😍 l couldn’t open the pattren of the scarf I try but no

Do you mean the video tutorial or the written pattern? I've checked all the links and they are working from my side... sorry, I'm not sure what the issue could be. Here is a link to the written pattern: patriciafentie.com/2019/10/08/crochet-a-bohemian-scarf/

[@valerie9111]

Thank you so much for this crochet hat pattern, I loved it so much I was determined to make it and I've just this minute finished it. However I must add because I'm in the UK and although I used the correct size hooks once I'd started I could see it would be really small. I started again adding the 8 extra that was mentioned somewhere on here and yes it's still small and would fit a small child but I persevered wanting to see the finished product and yes I do have a 3 year old granddaughter whom it will fit perfectly. I used a very similar yarn that you used (King Cole I think) but it's UK double knit so there was my problem not quite the same thickness that your pattern required. I will do it again but this time casting on 88 sts and doing a 3 or 4 of the repeat pattern that way I think I will get an adult size hat, so that's my advice to anyone wanting to crochet this gorgeous hat but using UK double knit.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Yes, the size of yarn and your own crochet tension will make a difference. The written pattern gives some gauge measurements, but you are correct in simply adding more pattern repeats to get the size you desire. A larger crochet hook can also help. Enjoy! patriciafentie.com/2019/10/30/crochet-a-bohemian-hat/

[@zhengninghu4152]

Love this tutorial soooooo much! I finally got the same yarn from red heart and made one for my mom successfully. The color is so nice and gorgeous the only thing that I don't like about the yarn is that the thickness keeps changing and it makes the process a little frustrating...

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Wonderful...well done! That yarn is funny. I've had some balls that are fine and others that do vary a lot in the thickness. The colors are so gorgeous though!

[@luzramos1471]

very pretty

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Thank you! There is a scarf tutorial to match the hat :)

[@sueneil777]

Hi I love this hat and the scarf too. It would be great to have the patterns in paper form, is it possible to obtain one for both of them? Thanks.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

I am currently working on creating downloadable patterns for my more popular patterns. I will be selling them on Ravelry. It's a bit of a big job, so if you subscribe to my newsletter on my blog patriciafentie.com/, I will announce when my Ravelry Store has some patterns ready to go. This and the scarf will be some of the offerings.

[@311637557]

I found the hat getting too big. I had to unravel it. The problem started on the row where I switched to a bigger hook. Using the smaller hook for the whole thing worked great. The second time around I kept the hat inside out and worked around it. I didn't switch back and forth. I'm done I love it!

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Well done! I'm glad you figured out the issue and switched back to the smaller hook. Crochet tension is subjective, so it's good you know how to adjust for that.

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

Hi Rachel, I’m using a 5.5 hook on the body of the hat since I’m a tight crocheter. But, it’s coming out way too big. Did yours fan way out? I’m on row 7 and my hat looks like a fan haha! Not sure what I’ve done wrong 😔

Hello! Your very first row will have 72 stitches (see 9:30 in the video), and here is the link to the written pattern which will give you the stitch counts for each row.

[@dianethornton8420]

Hi Patricia, I just got finished with the band and feel like it’s going to be too small. I used a size G hook, next down from the H 5mm but maybe it’s too small? What should the measurements be for the band before I slip knot it together?

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Yes, that will be too small. G is equal to 4 mm and the pattern calls for 4.5 mm (which doesn't have a US equivalent). You could use the H (5 mm) and just crochet with slightly tighter tension. The band should be 20-21" depending on your tension. The pattern repeat is 8 stitches, so you can increase the number of rows by that amount to do another pattern repeat as well.

[@dianethornton8420]

Thanks so much for the quick reply and info. I’ll have to purchase the 4.5mm hook. I’m looking forward to completing the project.

Do you have the patterns that can be printed. These are very hard to print. I would be happy to pay for them.

Sorry, I have not added this pattern to my Ravelry store yet. I do have this one, the matching scarf and a few other patterns on my list to add to the store. Health issues are slowing down the process... 😕

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

Hi Patricia! I’m on row 7…I did great working the different stitches, but the shape is coming out wrong. The band is correct but then the rest of the hat bows outward into a fan shape…it almost looks like it’s getting larger with each row ? Not sure what I’ve done wrong. I’m using a 5.5 hook on the body of the hat (I’m a tight crocheter.) helllllp! 😂

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

The only thing I can think of is that you might be adding stitches somewhere. Here are the written directions with stitch count and so forth. Maybe this will help: patriciafentie.com/2019/10/30/crochet-a-bohemian-hat/

I can’t find a 4 1/2 mm hook all I see is 4.25 and then it jumps to 5

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

4.5 mm is quite common and should be easily available. There is one in this set: amzn.to/3dFztb8 or you can get it as a single hook: amzn.to/3UDCwkQ

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

P.S. if you can't get a 4.5 mm crochet hook, you can use the 4.25, but just try to crochet with a slightly looser tension.

[@lornadanylchuk3692]

I love this pattern but I must admit my confusion is the turning, If I knew whether I was working on wrong side or right side It might be easier, I am sure I have messed up a row or two.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Oh dear, I'm not sure what could have happened. I've only had comments on successful projects. The only thing I can think of would be the crochet tension, if yours is tighter than mine. If you wanted to try again, I would recommend going up one size in both crochet hooks. I wouldn't unravel this project as this yarn is a nightmare to unfurl!
