Unlock the world of crochet with our engaging and hands-on “Basic Hat Design” class! Whether you’re a beginner or looking to expand your crochet skills, this class is designed to teach you the fundamental techniques required to create your own stylish and cozy hats without relying on a complex pattern.
What You’ll Learn:
- Hat Band Techniques: We will learn several ways to create a stretchy hat band to fit any head. We will use the basic chain stitch and/or Foundation stitches to begin, then we will see how different methods (front post/back post crochet, or working in the back loop only) will give us different affects.
- Variations: The body of the hat can use a variety of different stitches, the easiest being the moss stitch. We will explore ways to vary the look of your hat easily while trying out different crochet stitches.
- Assembly and Finishing: This hat is a low-sew design, as it is mostly assembled as we go. We will gather at the end and attach a pom-pom if desired.
Materials Needed:
- Yarn (about 150yds). Lion Brand Basic Stitch (anti-pilling) works good for this hat. This technique should work with any weight yarn, but worsted is good to start with.
- Crochet Hook size suggested for yarn chosen
- (optional) Large Pom-Pom & Button (1/2 – 1 inch)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
