I love it when I can re-use some of my old patterns to make a new one. This time I altered my Rain or Bowler Hat For Babies pattern and turned it into a Paddington Bear hat (You know from the Paddington Bear book series about a bear who loves orange marmalade).
You will need:
- Red yarn (I used less than half a skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry)
- a size H/5.00 mm crochet hook
- a yarn needle (for weaving in ends)
Hat:
Rnd 1: Magic ring, ch 2, 11 dc into ring, join to first dc.
Rnd 2: ch 2, 2dc in each dc around, join to first dc (22 sts)
Rnd 3: ch 2, *1 dc in one stitch, 2 dc in next* repeat from * to* 10 more times, join to first dc (33 sts)
Rnd 4: ch 2 *1 dc in each of next 2 dc, 2dc in next dc* repeat from *to* 10 more times, join to first dc (44 sts)
Rnd 5: ch 2 *1 dc in each of next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc* repeat from *to* 10 more times, join to first dc (55 sts)
Rnd 6: ch 2 *1 dc in each of next 4 dc, 2 dc in next dc* repeat from *to* 10 more times, join to first dc (66 sts)
Rnds 7-11: ch 2, 1 dc in each dc around, join to first dc (66 sts)
Rnd 12: ch 4, in back loops only *1 tr in each of next 2 dc, 2 tr tin next dc* repeat from *to* join to first tr (88 sts)
Rnd 13: ch2, in both loops dc in each triple around, join to first dc (88 sts)
Rnd 14: ch2, 1 dc in each dc around. (88 sts)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
