In this hat pattern, we are going to be using alot of front post and back post crochet.  We are also going to be working in the round and working from the top down. 

If you would like an ad-free pdf version of this pattern, it is available here on Ravelry.


Materials: 
scissors



yarn needle

Susan Bates Luxite Yarn Needle 2 3/4 in. 2 pc.

To make sure that you have the correct size crochet hook, here is a crochet hook conversion tool for you.

to change size, change your hook size but use the same pattern. 

Stitches:
mc = magic circle

ss = slip stitch; insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull through the loop.

dc = double crochet; yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (you have 3 on your hook), yarn over and pull through the first two loops, yarn over and pull through the last two loops.

fpdc = front post double crochet; yarn over, go around the post from the front, yarn over and pull up a loop, (you have 3 on your hook), yarn over and pull through the first two loops, yarn over and pull through the last two loops.

bpdc = back post double crochet; yarn over, go around the post from the back, yarn over and pull up a loop, (you have 3 on your hook), yarn over and pull through the first two loops, yarn over and pull through the last two loops.
