Butternut Slub Hat
This deliciously rustic hat features simple stitches that create a playground for your favorite textured yarns OR you can skip the marling and use a worsted weight yarn! But that doesn’t mean you have to give up the texture. Thick and thin yarns, handspun, tweed—whatever you choose, get creative and have fun!
The pattern includes reference photos to help illustrate my recommended alternative slip stitch join as well as a link to an informal video tutorial that demonstrates beginning the hat, working into the blo, the alternative slip stitch join, manipulating slubs for more front facing texture, and working the brim using post stitches. I also talk a bit more about sizing.
Psst. There’s also a matching cowl!
STITCHES & TECHNIQUES:
- Single crochet
- Double crochet
- Working into the back loop only (blo)
- Working in the round (joined rounds)
- Marling (holding two strands of yarn together as one)
- Post stitches (front and back post double crochet)
GAUGE:
Rounds 1–6 should measure approximately 4” (10 cm), unblocked.
Finished measurements of size 2 sample after blocking were approximately 20” (51 cm) in circumference and 8.5” (21.5 cm) long.
SIZES: 1: baby, 2: child/S, 3: M/L, 4: XL
Estimated to fit the following head circumferences:
Size 1: 13–16” (33–40 cm)
Size 2: 18–21” (45–53 cm)
Size 3: 22–24” (55–61 cm)
Size 4: 25–28” (63–71 cm)
Guidelines are included in the pattern on helping to choose a size based on the flat circle diameter as you work. Keep in mind that your yarn may relax after blocking and increase the hat circumference.
