Positively Hat Weather With the Free Willow Bonnet Crochet Pattern

Materials:

• US K (6.50 mm) crochet hook
• Worsted weight/ size #4 yarn
  • 2.7 oz/ 3.3 oz/ 3.9 oz | 131 yds/ 158 yds / 189 yds
  • 3 different colors
  • I used Vanna’s Choice
• Tapestry/ yarn needle

Gauge:

• 5.5” = 9 rows x 18 DCs

Terms/ stitches used:

• Ch: chain
• St: stitch
• Magic circle
• Slip st: slip stitch
• Sc: single crochet
• Spike sc: spike single crochet
• Hdc: half double crochet

Notes:

• This pattern is worked in the round, from the top down, with a slip st into the first st of the row. The band is worked back and forth in rows.
• The ch 1 at the beginning of the rows does not count as a stitch.
• The ch 2 at the beginning of some rows does count as a stitch.
• The spike sc/ sc rows are a bit more dense compared to the hdc rows, just keep that in mind and keep your tension even on those rows.
• When working the spike sc, you work into the row beneath your active one.
• You can fasten off between color changes, but it’s not necessary. You can carry the yarn if you’d rather, it just won’t make a cleaner look inside.
• The 3 sizes are slightly different from each other. The size in the photos is 20” on a size 22” model.
• In the photos: color A is pink (Vanna’s Choice in Magenta Pink), color B is gray (Vanna’s Choice in Charcoal Gray), and color C is green (Vanna’s Choice Light Muted Green).
