Hello Everyone!
We’re about half way through PRIDE month and I always try to include some quick projects for those needing something last minute for PRIDE events. This hat uses a stitch that’s new to my website that I actually really enjoyed working on and you can expect to see more often. It creates small bead like bobbles and it’s just a modified half double crochet so perfect for beginners!
This pattern will be available as a PDF by the end of the month on my Patreon.
Let’s get hooking!
Supplies
3.25mm crochet hook
6 50 gram balls of sport weight yarn in your chosen colors. I used the rainbow cotton 8/6 color pack 11 from Hobbii
Scissors
Darning needle (for weaving in ends)
Abbreviations
Ch- Chain
DC- Double crochet
HDC- Half double crochet
EHDC- Extended half double crochet
Slst- Slip stitch
BLO- Back loop only
To work the extended half double crochet yarn over, insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop just like you would if you were working a normal double crochet.
Now yarn over, and draw through the first loop only. Yarn over again and draw through the first loop only. Now yarn over and draw through all 3 loops.
