Vertical textured stripes → alternating dc, fpdc, and bpdc
This gives the knit-look ridges.
STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN
1️⃣ Start with the brim (worked sideways)
Adult size:
Ch 13
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (12 sc). Ch 1, turn.
Row 2–45: sc in BLO across (12 sts). Ch 1, turn.
(Adjust number of rows to fit head circumference.)
Mini size:
Ch 11 → work same sequence but repeat only 38 rows.
This creates a stretchy ribbed band.
2️⃣ Join the brim
Fold the strip in half, bring first and last row together.
Sl st across to seam the brim into a loop.
Do not fasten off.
3️⃣ Work the body of the hat (vertical texture)
You will now work along the edge of the ribbed brim.
Round 1:
Ch 2 (does not count as a st).
Work 1 dc per row around the brim’s edge.
Sl st to join.
(Adult ~45 sts, Mini ~38 sts.)
Texture Pattern Rounds (repeat these):
Round A:
Ch 2.
*fpdc in next st, dc in next st, bpdc in next st, dc in next st*
Repeat around.
Sl st to join.
Round B:
Ch 2.
*bpdc in next fpdc, dc in next dc, fpdc in next bpdc, dc in next dc*
Sl st to join.
Repeat Round A + Round B until the hat reaches the desired height.
Adult height: ~9–10 inches (23–25 cm)
Mini height: ~7–8 inches (18–20 cm)
4️⃣ Crown shaping (top closing)
These hats appear lightly decreased but mostly cinched.
Last 2 rounds:
Switch to sc to tighten the top.
Round 1: sc in each st around.
Round 2: sc2tog around.
Fasten off leaving a long tail.
Use yarn needle to weave through stitches at the top, pull tight to close.
5️⃣ Add Pom Pom
Sew the faux-fur pom pom firmly on top.
6️⃣ Add Tag (Optional)
Attach leather “MAMA” and “MINI” tags to the folded brim.
