Iced Edge Granny Square Slouch Hat for the 2017 GrannySpiration Challenge – Free Crochet Pattern

January 7, 2017

Yay! This is the first post of the year for the 2017 GrannySpiration Challenge! I am so excited to see what everyone has been working on, especially you! At the end of this post, you will find the information for this month’s giveaway, and link up.

I knew I wanted to create a hat with a solid granny square band, but wasn’t set on how I wanted the body to be. After some brainstorming and working, it hit me! The pair of a solid granny square and the traditional granny stitch pattern – and I LOVE it! Especially with the aqua and white color combo – a great wintery color combo. What I did not realize was that the white wouldn’t photograph well… I only managed one photo I loved. Will work on another color combo and get some more pictures up. You can also look forward to Toddler and Child sizes coming soon!

Materials:
     – 120 Yards each of Worsted Weight #4 Yarn – I used Red Heart’s With Love in Iced Aqua and White
     – I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
     – #18 Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends & Sewing Closed

Material Notes:
     Yarn Alternative: Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn

Yardage is estimated based on appearance of skein. I would estimate you could make at least three of these hats with one skein each, if not four.

Time Spent:
     I didn’t realize that it took so long to finish because it seemed to work up so fast, but according to my math, was just under five hours. The band will take you the longest.

Measurements:
     Band measures 10.25″ wide (when seamed). Hat is 10.25″ in length at the end of Round 16 (before seaming). Hat will fit average teen/adult.

Gauge:
     First square measures 3″ x 3″.

Abbreviations:
     DC – Double Crochet
     SC – Single Crochet
     sc2tog – Single Crochet Two Stitches Together (to decrease)
     PLT – Pull Loop Through Joining Method
        To PLT: Pull up on the loop on the hook, remove hook and reinsert from the right side of the previous square into the corresponding DC, pull loop through

Pattern Notes:
     Join to the first stitch, not the beginning chain. 

Beginning chain in every round except Round 1 of the hat body counts as a stitch.

In the hat body, count the chain spaces and the join in between the chain spaces each as individual stitches. At the end of the band, you should have 80 stitches.

I have a photo tutorial on working the Pull Loop Through Method over on The Stitchin’ Mommy. It’s so easy and fun, and I love the twisted look of the join.

Pattern:
     1st Square:
          Chain 5. Join to form a ring. Chain 2. 2 DC in the ring, chain 3, (3 DC into the ring, chain 3) 2x, 3 DC into the ring, chain 2. Join. (12 DC)

R2: Slip stitch over to the chain space. Chain 2. DC into the chain space, chain 3, 2 DC into the same chain space, DC into the next 3 DCs, [2 DC into the next chain space, chain 3, 2 DC into the same chain space, DC into the next 3 DCs] 3x. Join and Fasten Off. (28 DC)

2nd – 7th Squares:
     Chain 5. Join to form a ring. Chain 2. 2 DC in the ring, chain 3, (3 DC into the ring, chain 3) 2x, 3 DC into the ring, chain 2. Join. (12 DC)

R2: Slip stitch over to the chain space. Chain 2. DC into the chain space, chain 1, working from behind SC into the chain 3 of the previous square, chain 1. (DC into the chain space of the current square, PLT) 2x, (DC into the next DC of the current square, PLT) 3x, (DC into the next chain space of the current square, PLT) 2x, chain 1, working from behind SC into the chain 3 of the previous square, chain 1.
Remaining into the current square: 2 DC into the chain space, DC into the next 3 DCs, [2 DC into the next chain space, chain 3, 2 DC into the same chain space, DC into the next 3 DCs] 2x. Join, and Fasten Off. (28 DC)

8th Square – Joins the Band:
     Chain 5. Join to form a ring. Chain 2. 2 DC in the ring, chain 3, (3 DC into the ring, chain 3) 2x, 3 DC into the ring, chain 2. Join. (12 DC)

R2: Slip stitch over to the chain space. Chain 2. DC into the chain space, chain 1, working from behind SC into the chain 3 of the previous square, chain 1. (DC into the chain space of the current square, PLT) 2x, (DC into the next DC of the current square, PLT) 3x, (DC into the next chain space of the current square, PLT) 2x, chain 1, working from behind SC into the chain 3 of the previous square, chain 1.
In current square: 2 DC into the chain space, DC into the next 3 DCs, 2 DC into the next chain space, chain 1, working from behind SC into the chain 3 of the first square, chain 1.
(DC into the chain space of the current square, PLT) 2x, (DC into the next DC of the current square, PLT) 3x, (DC into the chain space of the current square, PLT) 2x, chain 1, working from behind SC into the chain space of the first square, chain 1.
Remaining into the current square: 2 DC into the chain space, DC into the next 3 DCs. Join, but don’t fasten off – continue onto Round 1 of the body.

Hat Body R1: Chain 1. (sc2tog, SC into each of the next 2 stitches) 20x. Join, with White and Fasten Off Aqua. (60 SC)

R2: Chain 2. 2 DC into the same stitch, skip the next 2 SCs, (3 DC into the next SC, skip the next 2 SCs) 19x. Join. (20 clusters)

R3 – 16: Slip stitch over to the space. Chain 2. 2 DC into the same space, skip the 3 DC cluster, (3 DC into the next space, skip the next cluster) 19x. Join. (20 clusters)

Fasten Off with a long tail. Pull up on the final loop, turn the hat inside out so wrong side is facing. Thread the tapestry needle and weave in and out of every other stitch to close up the top. Once back to the beginning, pull tight to close and sew to secure. 

Weave in all ends, and Enjoy! If you are feeling adventurous, I think a pom pom made from the contrasting color would be so cute on the top!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
