Crochet Banana Hat (Free Pattern!)

Another fruit hat!! I have a bunch of different fruit hats that I freehanded and I'm working on writing up the patterns now! Here's the first of more to come (soon, hopefully...)


These are also of course available as PDFs in my Ravelry store (and soon to be added to Etsy too!) for a small fee--you can also check my Etsy to see if I have any finished products for sale right now.


Thanks for reading and have a great day :-)


Banana Hat

Pattern © Starwort Fool/Aster Rogers, 2021



MATERIALS

Hook: 6.0 mm/G hook

Yarn: Aran or Worsted weight yarn of your choice, 1 skein each of yellow and brown (I use Caron One Pound yarn)

Yarn needle

Stitch marker

Scissors


Abbreviations: (US terms)

FO - fasten off

st - stitch

sl st - slip stitch

sc - single crochet

hdc - half double crochet

dc - double crochet

MC - magic circle

INC - increase (2 st in same stitch)

DEC - decrease


Notes:

  • The pattern is written for a small to average size adult head, but if you need to make the hat bigger or smaller, you can increase/decrease the number of increasing rows (or try substituting hdc or sc for dc in the pattern--you will need to 1.5x/double the rows to reach same length/proportions but you have more control over the exact size of the hat)

  • Ch 3 at beginning of rounds counts as first dc. If using hdc, ch 2 at the beginning of the round which counts as the first hdc. If you use sc, ch 1 and make your first st into the same st as joining (ch 1 won’t count as first st)


BANANA HAT

With brown, make a MC and ch 3 OR ch 4 & work the first row into the first ch of your ch 4. (remaining 3 ch count as first dc)

Round 1 Work 11 dc into MC, join to top of ch 3 (counts as first dc) (12)

R2 Ch 3, turn your work so you are working around the top of the chains (this is hard to explain. See the pictures at the end of the pattern.) dc into each st around and join to ch 3. (12)

R3 Ch 3 (do not turn), dc into each st around and join to ch 3. FO and weave in ends. (12)

R4 Join with yellow to any dc of the previous round, ch 3, dc in each st around and join to ch 3. (12)

R5 Ch 3, dc in each st around, join to ch 3. (12)

R6 Ch 3, dc in same st as joining (counts as first INC), 2 dc in each st around, join to ch 3. (24)

R7 Ch 3, dc in same st as joining, 1 dc in next st, *2 dc (INC) in next st, 1 dc* repeat around. ending with 1 dc in last st. Join to ch 3. (36) 

R8 Ch 3, dc in same st as joining, 1 dc in next 2 st, *INC, 1 dc in next 2 st* repeat around, join to ch 3. (48)

R9 Ch 3, dc in same st as joining, 1 dc in next 3 st, *INC, 1 dc in next 3 st* repeat around, join to ch 3. (60)

R10-17 (or as many rows to reach desired length including folding brim), Ch 3, dc in each st around, join to ch 3. (6)


Ear flaps/peel after reaching desired length, ch 3 (counts as first dc) and dc in next 11 st. (12)

R2 Ch 2 and turn, dc into next st (counts as first DEC), dc in next 8 st, DEC over last 2 st. (10)

R3 Ch 2 and turn, dc into next st, dc in next 6 st, DEC over last 2 st. (8)

R4 Ch 2 and turn, dc into next st, dc in next 4 st, DEC over last 2 st. (6)

R5 Ch 2 and turn, dc into next st, dc in next 2 st, DEC over last 2 st. (4)

R6 Ch 2 and turn, dc into next st, DEC over last 2 st. (2)

R7 Ch 2 and turn, dc into next st. FO and weave in ends.

Repeat for the second ear flap. They should be almost equal distance from each other, with a little more room in the front of the hat for the face.


Sc down the sides of the ear flaps and sl st along the brim of the hat. FO and weave in ends.

Optional If you want strings for tying the ear flaps under the chin, join to the tip of each ear flap, ch 35-40 (or desired length) and sl st in the back loop of each ch until you arrive back at the ear flap/beginning of the ch. Join to flap, fasten off and weave in ends.

Strawberry Beret/Tam/Slouch Hat Free Crochet Pattern

I'm back with my second-ever crochet pattern! This hat gets me comments and compliments wherever I go--which these days is really only to the post office or grocery store. It's a little reminiscent of a particular confectionary cartoon character but I didn't realize that until after the fact. It's still cute though! Questions or comments? Please send them my way in the comment section down below or via any of my socials! If you like this pattern and want to show your support, you can purchase a handy-dandy PDF version from my Ravelry store ! The PDF version also has additional helpful pictures and stitch explanations. Some Notes: The first half of this pattern is basically just making a crochet circle; a really nice video that explains visually how to do this is here I don’t know anything about gauge but I have generally somewhat tighter tension and used a 6.00 mm/J hook and ended up with about 20 to 21 inch circumference around the head with a little bit of stretch.

Mushroom Chapstick/Lighter Holder Keychain Crochet Pattern

Hi everyone! This is actually my first ever written (and posted) crochet pattern. This keychain's been my best-received gift and best-selling item in my Etsy shop, so whoever you make it for will love it! With it being my first pattern, if you find any errors, confusions or questions while you're following it, please comment below or reach out to me on any of my socials and I'd be happy to help you out :-) If you like this pattern and want to show your support , you can purchase a handy-dandy PDF version (with process pictures) from my Ravelry store ! Notes:  This isn't quite an amigurumi project, but it does follow similar ideas--if you're unfamiliar with magic circle/magic ring/adjustable rings, as well as the invisible single crochet decrease, I recommend looking up some YouTube tutorials on those as I do use them in this pattern. I also recommend using stitch markers to denote the first stitch of each round. Mushroom Chapstick/Lighter Holder Keychain Pattern © A
