Now you can gently separate the two pieces of cardboard just enough to get a length of wool around and tied tightly twice. Slowly and carefully cut around the ring rim, whilst pinching the centre or the ring between thumb and forefinger of the other hand. Then uing your crochet hook you should be able to get lots of wool onto the cardboard rings and this will make a nice soft ring, ready to finish off.įor the final stage, move the wool away to reveal your two cardboard rings and then slip your scissors in between them. Place both of the circles together and start threading the wool through to make a ring of wool Follow the above link to a video Tutorial for beginners pom pom making.

I have a large pom pom maker from a craft store. If the part about sewing up the sides and gathering the top doesn’t make sense, here is a video clip to show you what I mean!Īfter gathering the hat I finished weaving in the tail and attached a homemade pom pom. When I finished sewing the sides together, I used the rest of the tail and my tapestry needle to weave in and out around top of the hat, pulling it tight as I went to gather it together. I used the tail and a tapestry needle to sew the two sides of the rectangle together, making sure that the straight edge of the HDC slip stitch I just did was facing outward. This is optional, but if you do want to add it, a HDC slip stitch means you YO, insert your hook, pull up a loop, then pull directly through the two loops on your hook.Īfter adding the border on the side, I tied off and left myself a really long tail (probably about 15 to 20 inches). I worked a HDC slip stitch along the side so that the brim of my hat would be a little straighter when I folded it up. For example, I have a 23 inch diameter head and I made the width of my rectangle 20 inches, which ended up being 65 rows of the front bottom loop HDC.Īfter I worked my 65 rows, I chained 1 and turned along the side of my work. Repeat row 2 until your rectangle measures about 3 inches less than the diameter of your head. (The turning chain does not count as a stitch, so your first stitch should be worked directly into the first front bottom loop of the row below.) Chain 2 and turn. ROW 2: HDC across the row, inserting your hook up through the front bottom loop only. (A HDC is YO, insert your hook, pull up a loop, YO, pull through all three loops on your hook.) Chain 2 and turn. ROW 1: Starting in the 3rd chain from the hook, work a half double crochet (HDC) in each chain. 11 in x 19 in hat, 8 inches tall when you fold up the brim). For adult size hat: Chain 52 (or 60 for a slouchier look-see the Rich Teal colored hat for appx. Make a base chain that measures the same length as your desired hat height. You can also use the chart below for some standard head sizes to measure your chain. You are making this hat lengthwise, so the length of your base chain will be your hat height. The best way to make sure your hat fits is to make your base chain the same length as the tip of your nose to the crown of your head. Half Double Crochet Front Bottom Loop: Work as a normal half double crochet, except insert your hook underneath the front bottom loop that faces you as you work across the row. Half Double Crochet (HDC): Yarn over, insert hook into designated stitch, yarn over and pull a loop back through, yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.
