🎩 How to Crochet the 2-Layered Hat
Step 1: Inner Layer
- Start with a magic ring, CH 2 (counts as first DC).
- Work 11 DC into the ring. Join with SL ST to top of CH 2. (12 DC)
- Round 2: CH 2, 2 DC in each ST around. Join. (24 DC)
- Round 3: CH 2, 1 DC in next ST, 2 DC in next; repeat around. (36 DC)
- Continue increasing evenly each round until you have a circle wide enough to fit the crown of the head (approx. 6.5″ for adult).
- Work even (1 DC in each ST) for 10–12 rounds or until hat reaches the desired length.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
Step 2: Outer Layer
- Repeat the steps above with a contrasting color, but make the rounds 1–2 rows longer to slightly overlap the inner layer.
- Do not fasten off the last round.
Step 3: Joining the Layers
- Insert the inner layer inside the outer one, matching the crown and sides.
- Align stitches and use SL ST or SC around through both layers to join them securely at the edge.
- This creates a thick, warm brim and seals the double layers.
🌸 How to Crochet the Flower
- Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1: CH 1, 6 SC in ring. Join with SL ST.
- Round 2: (CH 2, 2 DC, CH 2, SL ST) in each ST around to create petals. (6 petals)
- Round 3 (optional): Work behind the petals in FLO or BLO and repeat petal pattern to make a second layer.
- Fasten off, weave in ends, and attach a button in the center if desired.
- Sew the flower onto the side of the hat using the yarn needle.
🌈 Style Tips
- Use gradient yarns or a variegated outer layer for added color effect.
- Try fuzzy or velvet yarn for a soft, luxurious look.
- Add more embellishments like leaves, beads, or additional small flowers for flair.
