“Adventure time, C’mon grab your friends, we’ll go to very distant lands. With Jake the Dog and Finn the Hu-man, the fun will never end! It’s adventure time!”

This hat is actually very quick and easy to make. A skilled crocheter could whip this up in a about an hour, but it’s great for beginners too because it uses several different techniques in a simple manner. The hat is worked in joining rounds and then switches to a back and forth pattern and then switches back to joining rounds with a colour change at the bottom. The ears are worked up in continuous rounds and then in front loops only for the last round. Special stitches include dc2tog, changing yarn colour and front loop single crochet. I use a thick worsted weight yarn, a large K/10.5 – 6.50mm hook, a double crochet and a single crochet stitch for this pattern. It’s simple but cute!

This pattern is for a child approx 4-12 years old. Due to the large stitches, this hat will stretch and fit a head approx 18″ – 21″.

Please note that his pattern has been tested, however if you should come across any mistakes, please do not hesitate to comment or send me a message, after all…we’re only hu-man!

Special Instructions

Dc2tog: Yarn over and insert hook into next stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops left on your hook). Now yarn over again and insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (3 loops left on your hook), now yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

Flsc: In a regular sc, you insert the hook into both loops and make a sc. In a front loop sc (flsc), you only insert the hook into the front loop (leaving the back loop untouched) and make a sc.
