Crochet Delicatus Hat – FREE Crochet Pattern

The Yarn

---

To crochet this pattern I used 100 % Alpaca yarn.

The reason behind my choice this time around was honestly the fact that I had some scrap yarn in my yarn stash. Using thin yarn for this project makes them easy & light to wear.

The thin yarn also makes the broomstick lace stitch look amazing.

THE PERFECT TRY A NEW STITCH CROCHET PROJECT

---

Behind this crochet pattern you won’t find a big design idea, but a beautiful one.

It’s made with the purpose of letting you try a completely new crochet stitch, without having to embark on a big, time consuming crochet project.

There’s no complex increases or decreases on this pattern, just crocheting back & forth in rows.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?

---

How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Notes

• Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.

• Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
• Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
• Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.

• At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.

Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.

Step 3: Insert hook into prev “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.

Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.

Finishing

---

1. With the wrong side facing. With a needle, seam the side of the beanie, start at the bottom & move up.
2. Still working with the needle, pull through the top of every loop on the top of the hat with the same yarn, in a way that makes it possible to pull tight after going through those stitches.
3. Pull tight & fasten thread.
4. Fasten all threads & weave in ends.
5. Optional: Make & attach a pom pom.
