Materials:1oz soft worsed weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Pound of Love)
G hook
Note: Many people have asked me what an adjustable loop is. It is a method used to eliminate the gap in the center of your work that is sometimes created when working in the round. It is also known as the magic ring. June Gilbank of Planet June has an excellent tutorial. http://www.planetjune.com/blog/magic-ring-for-amigurumi/ If you are not comfortable with the method, please feel free to replace adjustable loop with: ch 2, sc # specified in 2nd ch from hook for single crochet in the round OR ch 4, dc # specified in 4th ch from hook for double crochet in the round (the beginning ch 3 would count as your 1st dc).
Measurements: Rnds 1-4 measure 3.5" in diameter. From the top of the hat at rnd 1 to the bottom of the scallops on rnd 12, the hat measures 5 3/8".
Notes: Ch 3 counts as dc. Adjustable loop and first ch 3 can be substituted for ch 4, with dc's made in 4th ch from hook.
Make an adjustable loop.
Rnd 1: Ch 3, 11 dc in loop. Pull loop taut and join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (12 dc)
Rnd 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each remaining st around, join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (24 dc)
Rnd 3: Ch 3, 2 dc in next st. (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) X11, join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (36 dc)
Rnd 4: Ch 3, dc in next st, 2 dc in next st. (dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st) X11, join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (48 dc)
Rnds 5-11: Ch 3, dc in each st across, join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (48 dc each rnd)
Edging:
Rnd 12: (sk next 2 sts, 5 dc in next st, sk next 2 sts, sl st in next st) X8, end off and
weave in ends. (8 scallops)
Alternative to edging (simple, no scallops):
Rnd 12: Ch 3, dc in each st across, join with sl st in top of beg ch 3. (48 dc)
Rnd 13: Ch 1, sc in same st and each st around, end off and weave in ends. (48 sc)
