This hat works up quite quickly using the worsted weight cotton yarn.
Cotton is the perfect choice for both warmer climates and summer weather – as cotton is more absorbent and breathes well.
The finished hat is super soft and comfortable to wear.
To make this hat using Worsted Weight Yarn – Red Heart With Love, please use a 5.50 mm crochet hook and follow the same pattern instructions. I have tested this and it works out to the correct measurements.
To make these hats a little longer to reach the base of the ear (rather than mid-ear length) add 4 additional rounds (in the repeat round 10 section).

Hi Carol, I do not have a scarf that matches this – since all the stitches are worked on the same side of the fabric, it would either need to be a scarf where we fastened off at the end of every row – or an infinity scarf or cowl that are worked in rounds, to use this stitch pattern. If we worked it back and forth in rows the stitches wouldn’t look the same as the hat. If you were to make one, which would you prefer? In case I have time to squeeze in some pattern writing this month! Thanks, Rhondda
I just finished this hat and would like to make a scarve to match would you have a pattern for this
Hi Rhondda thanks so much for your kind words & prayers. I got hope done & learned about the magic ring & the stitching in front & back to make the band. I really enjoyed this creation thanks to you. I hope Bonnie likes it as much as I do. Hugs to you from Canada.
Hi Sheila – I’m so very sorry your co-worker needs chemo. I hope it eradicates the cancer quickly though and she recovers very soon. If you have any questions with the pattern, please let me know – or if she would prefer a different style of hat – I could try to write up a different pattern as well. Praying for some extra strength to be sent her way – to help her win this battle. Warmly, Rhondda
Hi Rhondda thanks so much for publishing this pattern. My Co-worker of 32 years is undergoing her second time of chemo for ovarian cancer. Her first time was 3 years ago. I had a patient in the office a while ago who was actually crocheting a chemo hat, but I don’t remember who she was & did I think to ask her for a copy of her pattern. No. Well Bonnie just lost hair, so I am going to make this hope hat for her.
Thanks so much the pattern, I truly appreciate it.
Hugs Sheila
