Brimmed 'Straw' Hat

Lion Brand® Lion® Cotton

GAUGE:

3 sc = 1 inches. Motifs are approx, 2¾ inches across. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

HAT BAND:
Motif (make 8):
Ch 4, join with sl st into ring. Work 8 sc into ring, sl st to join. Next rnd: Ch 3, yo and insert hook into same space, yo, pull loop through, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through rem 2 loops (first petal made). *Ch 3, yo and insert hook into next sc, pull loop through, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops rem on hook), yo and insert into same sc, pull loop through, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 2 loop, yo pull through rem 3 loops on hook (petal made); rep from * 6 more times -- 8 petals made counting First Petal. Ch 3 and join with sl st top top of first petal. Fasten off.

Brimmed 'Straw' Hat Reviewed by Karen Vradelis on 2008-08-26 ****
I made this hat this summer - it looked much better than it does in this picture - I get many complements on it - and it was a great (anti) sun hat. I altered the pattern slightly - used a matching variegated yarn for the 'flower' insert and for the brim (out of necessity - I wouldn't have had enough yarn otherwise) - and I think I would change the pattern a little if I ever made another - and start from the top of the crown (rather than with the flower panel and work down/up).
