This free crochet pattern is adorable for fall, and works up in 1 – 2 hours, depending on your speed. I created a matching pair for my girlfriend’s twin girls and the hats received a sweet response.

See my notes at the bottom for making a smaller or larger version.

Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue.

Size: Baby (3 - 6 months)

Instructions:
Yellow
Ch 60. Careful not to twist ch, join with sl st in first ch to form a ring.
Rnd 1: Ch 1. Sc in each ch around. At end of rnd DO NOT join. Work in continuous rnds. (Do not join at end of rounds throughout pattern.

Rnd 36: Sc 2, sc2tog, sc 2, sc2tog, sc2. (8 sc)
Rnd 37: Sc2tog, sc 2, sc2tog, sc 2. (6 sc) Finish, leave 6 – 8” tail.
Finish the hat point by flattening hat point between your fingers. With yarn needle, thread tail back and forth through last 6 sc (3 on each side when flattened).
Finish, weave ends. (See image)

Optional Edge:
Find starting place on edge of hat. Sl st to join at first ch sp. Sk 1 sp, 5 dc in next sp, sk 1 sp, *sl st to next sp, sk 1 sp, 5 dc in next sp, sk 1 sp, sl st to next sp; repeat from * around 11 times (for a total of 12 shells). Finish, weave ends.

Notes:
To make a smaller hat (0 – 3 months), decrease starting chain to 50 and follow the decreasing pattern beginning with Rnd 9. Your rounds will decrease in scs according to how many times you repeat the decrease. 
To make a larger hat (6 – 12 months), increase starting chain to 70 and follow the decreasing pattern beginning with Rnd 9. Your rounds will decrease in scs according to how many times you repeat the decrease.
For example, in Rnd 9 the decrease pattern repeats 6 times. (60 – 6 = 54 scs) In Rnd 10, it also repeats 6 times, so you should have 6 fewer scs. (54 – 6 = 48 scs)


You are all done. Happy Autumn!
