- Crochet hook size 5.5mm
- Stitch marker (optional)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create Magic Ring and Foundation Round
- Start with a magic ring.
- Work 10 single crochet (SC) stitches inside the ring. Pull tight to close the ring.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first SC to form a round.
2. Prepare for Virgo Pattern
- The Virgo pattern works on the round, crocheting multiple SC stitches into each “ear of corn” shaped space without joining inside the pattern to keep stitch integrity.
- Use a stitch marker or loop holder to mark your starting point and keep track of rows.
3. Virgo Pattern Round 1
- Work 2 single crochet stitches (SC) into each stitch/space (increase round).
- Continue all around, placing 2 SC into each stitch to double the stitch count.
- Keep consistent around the whole round.
- Join with slip stitch or continue seamlessly, per your style.
4. Virgo Pattern Round 2
- Work one single crochet (SC) in each stitch along the round (no increases).
- Use the loop holder to mark the start.
- This round builds body height without changing the stitch count.
5. Virgo Pattern Round 3
- Alternate increase rounds with regular SC rounds, using the pattern below:
- Round with increases: 2 SC into one stitch followed by 1 SC in next (increase)
- Round without increases: 1 SC in every stitch
- Continue this sequence to shape your hat's crown and body.
6. Building Height with Repeated Rounds
- Work 9 rows of single crochet (SC) after desired width is achieved to build hat length.
- Between increase rounds, alternate with plain SC rounds.
- Adjust the number of rows according to the head size or desired hat length (more rows for longer hats, fewer for shorter).
7. Edge Decoration - Reverse Single Crochet
- Crochet a final round of reverse single crochet (crab stitch) around the bottom edge for a neat, decorative finish:
- Work SC stitches backwards along the edge, inserting hook from left to right (reverse direction).
- Continue this around the brim for approximately 1-2 rounds, to your preference.
8. Finishing
- After the edge, cut the yarn leaving a tail.
- Pull the tail through the last stitch to secure.
- Weave in all yarn ends neatly.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds and starting points to avoid confusion.
- Customize your hat by changing colors or lengthening rounds for more coverage.
- The magic ring method creates a clean, closed top for your hat, enhancing the look.
- Always try the hat on during making to adjust fit in time.
Uses
- Warm and cozy headwear for cool weather
- Great gift idea for family and friends
- Quick project for last-minute handmade presents
- Suitable for all ages and styles with color customization
Tip
If you want a stretchier brim, use a slightly smaller hook on the last few rounds or add elastic thread while crocheting the brim edge for a snug fit.
