How to crochet a big Flower for hat



Free Pattern (This is for personal use only)

The first time I learnt crochet. My first project was a flower. I did apply some technique we used to this flower especially creating the petals.

Yarn used: Medium 4 weight yarn & 100% Acrylic
Yarn color used(pictured above)-Pretty 'n Pink & Shocking pink
Crochet hook used: 3.75mm
Flower button(optional)

Abbreviations used:
Hdc- Half double crochet
Sc- single crochet
Dc-double crochet
Tc-trebble crochet
sl st- slip stitch
ch(s)- chain(s)
sts-stitches

Begin with slip knot(with pretty 'n pink) or your choice of yarn color.

Row 1: Chain 131
Row 2: Turn, Sc in the second chain from the hook & sc in each chain across =130sc

Row 3: Turn, Ch 5, (imaged below) skip 4 stitches, sl st in next one stitch, (Ch 5, skip 4 sts, slip stitch in next one st)-repeat all the way across. = 26 chain spaces
skipping 4 sts & going to work a slip stitch





two chain 5 spaces have completed




















 Row 4: Turn, Work into chain 5 spaces:
(sc,hdc,dc, 3tc, tc in second skipped st, 3tc, dc,hdc, sc)- Repeat across. Then slip stitch to the beginning chain & finish off. Leave about 25 inches tail for sewing. =26 petals
 


To work trebble crochet in second skipped st
trebble in second skipped st have completed















First petals have completed




two petals have completed 






This is how it look like when you finished row 4.





Edging: With shocking pink or your choice of yarn color. Slip knot, right side of row 4 is facing you,  slip stitch to the first sc in row 2, slip stitch in back loop only in first sc in row 4 & slip stitch in each stitches across in back loop only. Then slip stitch to the beginning chain and finished off.
the beginning slip stitch is in the first sc of row 2. 



    -
 last slip stitch is in the beginning chain of row 1.





-













This is the final steps, roll it the way you like to form a flower. Both sides will work. Then sew the bottom. In the main picture above, I rolled it with right side on the top & I glued a flower button in the middle. In the picture below I didn't add an edging & a flower button.

Example:

rolling it with wrong side on the top



















the bottom









I rolled it with right side on the top












I hope it helps.  I'm not an advanced crocheter. I still considered myself as a beginner. I started taking down notes while crocheting a project on my own. This is how I learnt writing the pattern. Happy crocheting. Have a beautiful day!!! Feel free to ask me if you have questions.

How to Crochet a 2000 Beach Sun Hat


 Hello Everyone, My name is Lyza. Crochet is my number one hobby. Crocheting a hat is my favorite. I would like to share to you my newest crocheted hat pictured above. I named it "2000 Beach Sun Hat". Year 2000 is when the first time I learnt Crochet and it was all basic stitches which I applied to this hat.

Here's the free pattern below. For personal use only.
2000 Beach Sun Hat by Lyza Walters
Yarn used: Medium 4 weight yarn 100 percent Acrylic(You can use medium 4 weight, 100% cotton).
Yarn color used: White, Blue, Turqua, Baby pink, pretty ‘n pink(You can pick any color you like)
Crochet hook: 4.mm
 Also used a TRIMMER LINE in the last round of the brim
 Hat's size-Adult size(my Styrofoam head mannequin circumference is 21 inches & the hat fits perfectly not tight and not too loose).

Abbreviation used:
Dc- double crochet
Beg.Dc-Beginning double crochet
Beg.sc-beginning single crochet
Beg. hdc-Beginning half double crochet
Ch- Chain
Sl st- slip stitch
Rnd- round
 Sc-Single Crochet
Hdc-Half double crochet
Sts-stitches
St-stitch
Rpt-repeat

Notes:
1. Join with slip stitch to the top of beginning DC/Sc/hdc throughout rounds.
2.Tension is very tight. My advice is to crochet slowly to make sure the stitches are tight & even.
3.( )-repeat the pattern inside it only.
4. Do the beg.sc,hdc,& dc in the same stitch as joint.

Hat’s circle
Hat’s circle diameter is 6.25 inch.

Video here on how I crochet the hat's circle and also how I begin the Dc.
 https://youtu.be/vom2GGjEDbQ ..You can begin the double crochet in other way as long as you have the right count of stitches.

With white yarn
Begin with magic ring
Rnd 1: 
Single Crochet loosely then ch 1(counted as first Dc), 11 Dc into the ring. =12Dc

Rnd 2: 
Beg. Dc(counted as first dc throughout rounds), Dc in same stitch. 2 Dc in each stitch around. =24 Dc

Rnd 3: 
Beg. Dc, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch, (Dc in next 1 stitch, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch)- rpt around= 36 Dc

Rnd 4: 
Beg. Dc, Dc in next 1 stitch, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch, (Dc in next 2 stitches, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch)- rpt around.= 48 Dc

Rnd 5: 
Beg. Dc, D  in next 2 sts, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch, (Dc in next 3 stitches, 2 Dc in next 1 st)- repeat around = 60 Dc

Rnd 6: 
Beg. Dc, Dc in next 3 sts, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch, (Dc in next 4 stitches, 2 Dc in next 1 st)- repeat around = 72 Dc

Rnd 7: Rnd 5: Beg. Dc, Dc in next 4 sts, 2 Dc in next 1 stitch, (Dc in next 5 stis, 2 Dc in next 1 st)- repeat around = 84 Dc

Hat’s Body
Rnd 8: Beg. dc, dc in each st around. =84 Dc
Rnd 9 to 16: Repeat round 8.=84dc

Brim:
Note: Watch here how I begin an HDC https://youtu.be/N-SolpHtv38 and do the same technique for beginning sc. (You can begin the half double crochet  & single crochet in other way as long as you have the right count of stitches).
 .
Note: How I count the stitches faster? From round 2 to 14, stitches are increasing by 12 in every round. I only count my increased stitches most of the time. If I have 12 then it's good. For Example in round 2, 2hdc in next 1 stitch(it's counted as one increased stitch). Sometimes I count my stitches in between of my increased stitches because sometimes I mistakenly skipped one stitch. Example in round 2, (hdc in next 6 sts, 2hdc in next 1 stitch)-repeat. Meaning you have 6 hdc in between of the increased stitches all the way around. Beg. Hdc plus hdc in next 5 sts equals 6 sts.

Rnd 1:Beg. Sc(counted as first sc throughout rounds), sc in each st around =84 sc

Rnd 2:Beg. hdc(counted as first sc throughout rounds), hdc in next 5 sts, 2 hdc in next 1 st, ( hdc in next 6 sts, 2 hdc in next 1 st)-rpt around
=96 hdc

Rnd 3: Beg. sc, sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt around=108sc

Rnd 4: Beg. hdc, hdc in next 7 sts, 2 hdc in next 1 st, (hdc in next 8 sts, 2 hdc in next 1 st)-rpt around =120hdc

Rnd 5: Beg. sc, sc in next 8 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 9 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt around=132sc

Rnd 6: Beg. dc, dc in next 9 sts, 2 dc in next 1 st, ( dc in next 10 sts, 2 dc in next 1 st)-rpt around =144dc

Rnd 7: Beg. sc, sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 11 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt 10 times. Sc in last 6 sts=156sc

Rnd 8: Beg. dc, dc in next 11 sts, 2 dc in next 1 st, ( dc in next 12 sts, 2 dc in next 1 st)-rpt around =168dc

Rnd 9:Beg. sc, sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 13 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt 10 times. Sc in last 8 sts. =180sc

Rnd 10: Beg. dc, dc in next 13 sts, 2 dc in next 1 st, ( dc in next 14 sts, 2 dc in next 1 st)-rpt around. After slip stitching, do chain 1 & pull it tight to end the white or fasten off.=192dc

Note:  For changing colors. Slip knot, insert hook in first st & pull up a loop, yarn over & draw 2 loops on hook(counted as beg. sc)

Rnd 11: With blue, Beg. sc, sc in next 14 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 15 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt around=204sc

Rnd 12: Turqua, Beg. sc, sc in next 15 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 16 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt     around=216sc

Rnd 13: pretty ‘n pink. Beg. sc, sc in next 16 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 17 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt around=228sc

Rnd 14: baby pink. Beg.sc, sc in next 8 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st, ( sc in next 18 sts, 2 sc in next 1 st)-rpt 10 times. Sc in last 10 sts =240sc

Rnd 15: Watch here https://youtu.be/EHYJPr8q-vQfor the last round. It’s where I used the trimmer line. It's sc in each st around =240Sc. Wave the brim the way you like.

Braided Hat band
4 strands of each color (blue, turqua & baby pink) 80 inches long, tied it together & braid it.

I hope it helps. I'm not an advanced crocheter. I still considered myself as a beginner. I started taking down notes while crocheting a project on my own. This is how I learnt writing the pattern. Happy crocheting. Have a beautiful day!!! If you have questions, Feel free to ask me.
