Please do not copy or sell my
pattern! You may link to it, you may sell the finished product, I don't mind,
as I did not "invent" the granny square! Have fun!
First you must make 5 granny
squares in the color(s) of your choice. I altered the granny square pattern a
little bit, and used hdcs instead of dcs, because I didn’t want the squares to
be too wide.
My colors changed on these
rnds:
Rnd1-Tan,
Rnd2-White, Rnd3 and 4-Tan, Rnd 5-White,
Rnd6-Tan
The pattern for my granny
square is as follows:
Ch5, sl st to 1st ch to
form a loop
Rnd 1: ch4, (counts as
1hdc and ch2sp), *3hdc in loop, ch2* repeat 3 times, 2hdc in loop, sl st to
2nd ch of beg ch4. Ch4, do not turn.
Rnd 2: 3 hdc in first ch2
sp, *(3 hdc, ch2, 3 hdc) in next ch 2 sp. * Repeat 3 times. 2hdc in last ch2
sp. Sl st to 2nd ch of beg ch4. Do not turn.
Rnds 3-6: ch4, (acts as one
hdc and ch2sp), from now on work 3hdc in every space between the 3hdc clusters
of the previous row. When you get to a corner, you always (3hdc, ch2, 3hdc),
this creates a corner. The last cluster is always 2hdc and connect to ch2 of
first ch4 (the first 2 ch acts as one hdc+ 2hdc in the end =3dc cluster) Your
square should increase by 3hdc on every side, every time you add a row.
You should have 18 hdc on each
side of the square when you’re done.
Now you will sew the squares
together. To save time, you can also slip stitch them together down the sides
at the end of each square (That’s what I did) but it will give it a raised
seam. If you want it flat, I suggest sewing it together!
Now your hat looks like a box...
don't worry, it will work itself out the the first time you try it on!
Now you will add the edge and
bill! Attach your yarn to the bottom corner of any of the 4 granny squares.
With right side facing you,
ch1.
Rnd 1: work 80 sc around
edge of hat evenly. (Tip – work 20 sc along each square. When you made each
granny square, there were 18 hdc’s on each side, plus 2chs on the corners. This
equals 20 stitches) sl st to 1st sc, ch1, turn.
Rnd 2: Sc in next 18 sts,
hdc in next 6 sts, (2dc) in each of the next 14 sts, hdc in next 6 sts, sc in
last 36 sts. Sl st to 1st sc, ch1, turn.
Rnd 3: Sc in first 37 sts,
hdc in next 6 sts, dc in next 26 sts, hdc in next 6 sts, sc in last 19 sts. Sl
st to 1st sc, ch1, turn.
Rnd 4: Sc in first 20 sts,
hdc in next 6 sts, dc in next 24 sts, hdc in next 6 sts, sc in last 38 sts. Sl
st to 1st sc, ch1, turn.
Rnd 5: Sc in each st
around (94sc), sl st to 1st sc. Fasten off.
Weave in
ends.
