How to crochet summer hat | Part 1

[@tinamarie9047]

I'm a cancer survivor. The clinic where I had my chemo treatments received donations of hats from a local group of women who crocheted. It was winter time when I lost my hair and I absolutely appreciated the cute beanies that were given to me. So I started crocheting hats to donate. Summer hats that will shade a bald, tender head in the summer would be really great to donate too. Thanks so much for this pattern.

Love you. Hope you get well soon.

Exactly what I’ve been doing the past week for my daughter-in-law . 👍 but used a soft cotton…

Excellent teacher…

[@daryacrochetlife]

Glad you think so!

[@rd4715]

I'm going to give it a try. Itvwas a bit confusing but after watching both videos I think I have it. I'm going to add #10 cotton thread for color. Wish me luck.

[@daryacrochetlife]

Good luck! You can do it! Let me know if you'll have any questions

[@rd4715]

@@daryacrochetlife I did it! The addition of the ecru #10 mercerized crochet cotton gives it a nice color and a bit more stiffness than yours appears to be. I used a 4 mm. hook to compensate for the additional product used. One problem is I finished the rounds with 20 gauge wire which may be too thick as the edge curls. My next hat will be with a larger hook and a thinner gauge wire. I did not try the fishing filament so that'll also be a good try. I'll see how it evolves.ooking to give your Fedora pattern a try as well. Thanks for a great video and pattern.

Hey i have followed your instruction and my half-done hat looks great! When will you upload the second video? Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[@daryacrochetlife]

Sorry for delay! Almost finished the second part. Plan to upload tommorow =)

Clever!

[@amanda2g]

Hi, I like the hat and I followed your instruction. Unfortunately, I am using a different material and it came out smaller. Can you please tell me the size of the crown before I make the dome? Thanks

[@daryacrochetlife]

Hi! You need to try it all the time on youself. Since we all have different head size, it would be better if you try it after every couple of rows.

[@gayleyankee7487]

@@daryacrochetlife yeah, but if you don't make the round part big enough then start down, get a couple of rows and have to pull out do bigger or smaller circle then repeat? Give us a measurement of the one you did so we have a starting point. Please.

[@Lovedogs-CountryLife]

Where can I purchase a large roll just like yours?

[@daryacrochetlife]

I bought it many years ago in Russia, not sure that we can find anything like that right now. These days I like to work with raffia from Wool and the Gang, Yashi from Universal Yarns or Fibra Natura Raffia

[@lunamoo8]

Hey can i make this hat from jute ?? Will the textire be totally different

[@reem2892]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@efstradling2748]

@Darya CrochetLife Can I use Jute yarn😢? thank you😊

[@daryacrochetlife]

I never tried making hats with jute, so I don't have an answer, but I guess jute us too itchy for the hat

[@mikelike8836]

Good video how long does it take to make one hat

[@daryacrochetlife]

It depends on your crocheting speed, I can make one in couple evenings

[@thanhnguyen-yy1gn]

Hello, can I ask for the length of raffia you used to make this hat please?. I am ordering but feel confused. Many thanks to you :)

[@daryacrochetlife]

Hello! The problem is that my raffia was in a roll, I showed it in a video, and there were no labels on it, so I really don't know the length of the raffia. Can you tell me what brand of raffia you're thinking on to buy?

[@hangbui7454]

Thank you for your instruction ! It's so beautiful. What is this material ? Is it washable ? Thank you.

[@daryacrochetlife]

Material is Raffia. Unfortunately it is not washable since it is a paper. However I steamed my hat several times and it didn't spoil it.

[@hangbui7454]

@@daryacrochetlife Thank you for your reply. All the best !

[@chloechapman6651]

Hello, so far I've made the dome of the hat but I've noticed that it almost has a rounded corner where the crown and the body meet so not as smooth of a dome as yours is. Is there a way to shape it? Thank you :)

[@daryacrochetlife]

Hello! Could you please send me the picture of your work to my e-mail [e-mail] I can't tell without the picture. Thank you

[@juliehare3403]

Try using a steam iron with the hat over some type of mold...like a bowl...you can wrap the bowl in newspaper to make it bigger if you need to. Do Not touch a hot iron to the raffia...it will burn.

[@EleneK]

Dear Darya I love your hat and I have tried to make it several times... unfortunately I have not finish any....I believe you do something at the end of the row that I don't understand it. You never saw us or tell us how to close the rows.... so at the end of the row I always have more stitches.... please Darya.... could you explain that?...thank you so much!!!

[@daryacrochetlife]

You don't need to do anything special at the end of the round, just keep crocheting into the next space. Place the marker at the last stitch of the round and when you count total number of stitches don't forget to count stitch with the marker.

[@Rorochet]

thank you your amazing but i wish you tell us measure by cm

[@luciana20001]

Hi!! I love the hat but Im sorry, i've been trying for twice and I don't get it. When you finished round 5th, you have 30 simple croches, so you say to star 6th with 2 simple croches and 1 double. How possible is to get at the end of this round 36 simple croches? mathematically is imposible! Example: Every number is a croche (30) If I do the sequence that you say: 1simple + 1 simple + 2 (1 double)=112...... at the end of the round 6th there is no 36 croches, there are 40! Round 6th= 112112112112112112112112112112 Please, Am I doing something wrong?

[@daryacrochetlife]

Hi! Here is how you need to make 6th rnd: [2 SC (each one in its own hole), 1 INC (2 SC in the same hole), 2 SC (each one in its own hole)] repeat this 5 more times, and at the end you should have 36 SC. In each rnd you increase 6 SC. If you still have any questions please let me know =)

[@nelliedutoitsa]

The instructions for all the equal number rows are wrong. Row 6 is: 112111121111211112111121111211 Row 8: 111211111121111112111111211111121111112111 Row 10: 11112, (111111112)x5, 1111

[@Christi-e6n]

But if we do this in the end we have 40sc, not 36.

[@UVgroovy]

How much grams of yarn will I need for this hat? Or how many 50gr balls?

[@daryacrochetlife]

It's 113 g

[@autumnday2296]

Where can I find this material please?

[@daryacrochetlife]

It is Raffia. There are a lot of yarn brands that have it. I know Katia, Wool and the Gang etc. There are some Japanise brands as well. I bought my roll in Moscow, and unfortunately it was without any label, so I don't know the brand of my Raffia.

[@mytinyisland]

Hello! Thank you for this tutorial. I'm a little confused at the end. After the 6 rows of 72 then the increase, the next 7 rows.... is that single crochet and THEN the rows of slip stitch or is the slip stitch rows after the last increase? Thank you. ❤

[@mytinyisland]

Maybe I finally got it right... 7 more rows of 78 stitches then 1 row of slipstitch with the bigger hook just before the brim? Thank you.

[@mjperfume1523]

Ip dont have raffia where i live, what can i use as a substitute

[@daryacrochetlife]

I'm not sure exactly, however you could try jute. I know some people crochet hats using jute. Or try cotton yarn. You could strengthen the hat with spray starch.

[@rebeccamcnulty9404]

I have done row 6 and I end up with 40 sets. I have tried this row several times and each time I end up with 40 stitches not 36 sts. I saw another lady had the same problem so you wrote down how to do row 6 which is exactly what I have been doing and it always end up with 40 stitches at the end of the row…???? Doing what you say there are 10 increases not 6

[@daryacrochetlife]

Hi! In 6th row you need to make: (2 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc) repeat this part 6 times total and at the end of this row you will have 36 sts. Count your sts in a row before, it should be 30. Let me know if you'll have any questions.

[@nelliedutoitsa]

The instructions for all the equal number rows are wrong. Row 6 is: 112111121111211112111121111211 Row 8: 111211111121111112111111211111121111112111 Row 10: 11112, (111111112)x5, 1111 (She starts off with half a set because she wants the increases to be far away from each other) ♡♡

I love your hat; however, I find it extremely difficult to follow your instructions. Is it possible that you can give printed instructions?

[@daryacrochetlife]

Unfortunately, I don't have printed instructions for this hat. I created it myself couple years ago and all I have now is just this video tutorial. Maybe you could write down my instructions to a notebook and the crochet from your notes

[@juliehare3403]

I also had some difficulty understanding at first...but I listened over and over until I became used to your beautiful accent and your sentence structure. I kept thinking that, for example, for verbal instructions for increases, people usually say ( 6 sc ,one in each stitich) then (2sc in same stitch , then 12 sc in each stitich) and repeat 2 + 12. Written would spell it out better, but for some reason I kept doing the first number then 2 then first number again. But I figured it out and this is actually an excellent way to crochet in the round so it is very even. Thanks!
