Free Crochet Mesh Hat Pattern Tutorial
If you’re looking for a fun and easy crochet project that you can do in a weekend, then you’ll love this free crochet mesh hat pattern tutorial! This hat uses the traditional mesh stitch and is perfect for beginners who are just learning how to crochet. It’s also great for experienced crocheters who want to whip up a quick and easy project. The mesh stitch creates a lightweight and airy fabric that is perfect for warm weather wear. The best part is that it’s totally customizable, so you can make it as long or as short as you want.
Materials You Will Need
To get started on this project, you will need the following materials: size H hook, worsted weight yarn, stitch markers, and scissors. If you don’t already have these items in your craft stash, you can easily find them at any craft store or online. You can also use any type of yarn you prefer, but I recommend using worsted weight for this project. The size of the hook you use will depend on the thickness of the yarn you choose.
Creating the Base of the Hat
Once you have gathered your materials, it’s time to start crocheting! Begin by creating a magic circle. This is a technique used to start a crochet project without having a large hole in the center. To create the magic circle, wrap your yarn around your finger twice and then insert your hook into the center of the loop. Pull the loop up onto the hook and then yarn over and pull through the loop. This will create your first chain stitch. From here, you can begin crocheting the base of the hat.
Round 1
To start the first round, you will need to chain four and then single crochet into the same stitch. This will create a small circle. Next, chain one and then double crochet into the same stitch. Chain one and then double crochet into the same stitch again. Repeat this pattern eleven times to create a total of twelve double crochet stitches in the round. When you finish the first round, you should have a total of 12 double crochet stitches. You can use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.
Rounds 2-5
For the next four rounds, you will need to keep repeating the pattern you used for the first round. Chain four and then single crochet into the same stitch. Chain one and then double crochet into the same stitch. Chain one and then double crochet into the same stitch again. Repeat this pattern eleven times to create a total of twelve double crochet stitches in the round. When you finish the fourth round, you should have a total of 48 double crochet stitches in the round.
Rounds 6-10
For the next five rounds, you will need to begin increasing the size of the hat. To do this, chain four and then single crochet into the same stitch. Chain two and then double crochet into the same stitch. Chain two and then double crochet into the same stitch again. Repeat this pattern eleven times to create a total of twelve double crochet stitches in the round. When you finish the tenth round, you should have a total of 120 double crochet stitches in the round.
Adding the Brim and Finishing the Hat
Now that you have created the base of the hat, it’s time to add the brim. To do this, you will need to chain one and then single crochet into each stitch around the hat. When you have completed the brim, fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends. Your free crochet mesh hat pattern is now complete!
