It was a beautiful week here in Montana. I would guess that this weekend is probably going to be one of the last nice weekends before it starts to get cold. It’s forecasted to be in the 70’s this weekend and down to the high 40’s next weekend. We had a few stunning days so I decided to work on this crochet pattern while sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. After all, I do need a new crochet hat for winter. The “To the Peak” Crochet Hat is uniques in its own way. Not only do the puff style stitches create an ultra soft feel and help hold the hats shape, it has a brim as well. The two decorative buttons on the side of the hat helps to create the brim and gives it a nice finishing touch.

Supplies and Materials Needed:

Yarn: Any #4 Worsted Weight yarn will work. I used Red Heart Super Saver in White. You can purchase it in the highlighted link.

Buttons: 2 buttons of any size, just depends on how you want them to look. They are for decoration only.

Crochet Hook: Any crochet hooks that you have on hand will work. I love the crochet hooks from Lion Brand and also Furls Crochet. They are both a very dependable brand and fit comfortably in your hands while crocheting. You can purchase them in the highlighted links.

Yarn needle: I really like the metal yarn needles. I feel like they weave through the yarn better than the plastic ones. You can purchase them through the highlighted link.

Craft Scissors: You can use any pair of scissors that you have on hand. I really love the small craft scissors because the fit easily in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase them through the highlighted link.

Hat Size:

Women’s One size fits most.

Gauge:

14 Single Crochet and 17 rows equal 4″

Abbreviations:

BEG (beginning), CH (chain), DC (double crochet), DCFP (double crochet front post *Yarn over and insert hook from front to back around the post to the next stitch*). You can watch a video on how to do a front post double crochet Here!, REM (remaining), REP (repeat), RNDS (round/rounds), SC (single crochet), SL ST (slip stitch), SP (spaces), STS (stitch), YOH (yarn over hook)

Skill Level: Easy

Note: Chain 2 at the beginning of round does not count as a stitch. * indicates a repeat in the pattern.
