and four-ply yarn we'll start by attaching a slip knot to the crochet hook take

main strand, now you have a loop take the loop wrap it over the main strand
put your hook below the center strand back up the opposite side
this creates the slip knot, work a chain six

on round one you can modify the sides at this point if you want to work
more stitches or less stitches we are moving on to Round two
who will be working a front post and back post double crochet around each
stitch working the chain one which is a step up
we're starting with the back post double crochet and putting the hook
from the back around to the front and I am working right around
the chain 1 everything
will all blend in working the first double crochet
I'm working a front post double crochet
around the same stitch
and this is what it looks like
you can see there's a stitch here on the back
and then one on the front around the same stitch
I'm putting my hook between the stitch I just worked on
from the back to the front to the back this is what it looks like
and now I'm working around the same post from the front
to the back to the front working a double crochet
moving on to the next stitch
going from the back to the front around the post to the back
working around the same stitch
from the front to the back to the front
working a double crochet we have completed
6 pos stitches three of them are back post
three of them are front post stitches will have a total of 30 upon completion
this is a back
front

Back

continue around to the beginning working a front post and back post double
crochet
around each stitch for a total of 30
I'm working last two
stitches
and this is what we have completed now we want to join we're putting our
hook below the two loops
the top of the stitch, wrap the yarn over pull through, pull through the loop on the hook
we have complete a round two we have have a total of
30 stitches 15 front post double crochet 15 back post double crochet
we are starting round three working a chain one
starting with the back post double crochet and i'm working
right around the stitch and the chain 1
they both blend in now i'm going to work
a front post double crochet we will be doing the same thing
this is our increase rounds we do all of our increase rounds
in the first three rounds of this hat
now i'm doing a
back post double crochet and a front
post double crochet back post double
crochet front post
double crochet around the same stitch back post double crochet
next stitch front post
crochet same stitch
we will have a total of 60 stitches on round three
there will be 30 back post double crochet 30 front post double crochet
we are repeating the same thing we did on Round two
working increase stitches continue around
beginning i'm working on the very
last stitch here we are going to join through the top
very first stitch, wrap the yarn over pull through pull through the loop on the hook
and this is what we've completed and it is a little bit wavy be at this point
this is how it should be looking
I'm going to change color wrap the yarn over pull through
cut the yarn
pull through give a tug, we will not be doing any more
increasing however we will be changing color several times
from here on out each stitch is going to be individual
and I'm going to attach over here in a different place
it does not have to be attached where we ended
when you attach in the same place where you
end the yarn may build up at a later time we sew in the tails
so I like to go on around and attach in a different place
I am putting my hook below stitch on the backside
wrapping the yarn over and pulling it through I am NOT making any knots at
this time
I'm going to do a chain one which is my step
up I am working a back post double crochet
a front post double crochet
a back post double crochet
front post double crochet
back post double crochet
you will continue around for three rounds with this color working
front post double crochet and then a back post double crochet
I'm finishing the last stitch
on round 6 joining with the beginning
double crochet wrap the yarn over pull through we're going to change color
this is what the cap looks like at this point
is laying flat the sides will start to form
over the next few rounds I'm going to attach this color again
and I'm going around here in a different place and I'm putting my
hook around the back post wrap the yarn
over pull through I'm not making any knots
at this time wrap the yarn over pull through
this is the step up and we will continue
as we did with the previous rounds working
a back post double crochet front post
double crochet for three more rounds
and then we will change color again
we will have a total of five bands different colors
there will be three rounds in each band the final band
will be gray worked with six rounds
we've completed 15 rounds I'm going to attach
the gray yarn I'm doing it the same way putting my hook around back post
looping it over pull through wrap the yarn over
pull through now i'm going to work
six rounds of back post and front post
double crochet and then that will complete the hat
I am completing the last stitch
on the cap join with the
beginning stitch, wrap the yarn over pull through, pull through the loop on the hook
wrap the yarn over pull through i've already cut the yarn
this is what the cap looks like this is the front
in the back is identical so you coule
reverse the cap either direction and they're going to be the same
this is a little flaw
in the yarn so it is on the inside not sure what I'll do with that yet
right now it's on the inside of the cap there will be quite a few tails to sew in
you want to make sure you knot and secure them really well so I'm going to make
little knot right here going to run
my needle between the stitches in this direction going to split the yarn
I'm going to take one of the strands that I split
and loop it through like that
make a second knot
needle again
weave it between the stitches
like this
i'm going to go down here a little bit like this
pull it back like this and then make
a knot and secure the yarn
and pull it between the threads like that so the knot
is hidden away cut off the extra tail
and that completes the hat
