How To Crochet a Half Double Crochet Hat and Scarf Set

Crochet, Crochet for Kids, Crochet For Teens, Crochet Hat, Crochet Scarf

For some reason, one of my favorite things to make is a hat. I think it is because it is so useful and works up so fast. I love to make them for everyone. Is anyone else the same? Anyways, here is a hat and scarf pattern that uses the half double crochet stitch. These work up very fast and are so colorful with the Red Heart Super Saver Stripes yarn but could be made with any yarn.

Materials

I used this Super Saver Stripe Yarn. I love all these colors and they are one of my favorite yarns!

Crochet Hook H– I recently purchased this set and love to use all the hooks and notions that it comes with!

Rows 7- 18: Hdc around the pattern. At the end of each row join and chain 2.

Last Row: At the end of the last row, join. Turn your work and chain 6. This will be the beginning of the gathered bottom of the hat. Sc in the first stitch in both loops, sc in each of the next 5 stitches in back loops only. Slip stitch the base of the hat, slip stitch in the next stitch next to it. Chain 1. Go back to the ribbing area and work 5 sc in the back loops of next 5 stitches. Sc in both loops of the last stitch. See below for help. You will continue this pattern around the hat. This will create the ribbing on the bottom. When you get back to the first stitches, you will end and slip stitch the hat shut.
