PROBABLY BARELY UNDERSTANDABLE CROCHET LAIN HAT TUTORIAL

the hardest part for me was the top of the hat because i've never done crochet flat circle tapestry before. but i found similar pattern for it. i edited this so it looks like lain's hat. that's basically what i followed.

so i didn't find any lain hat tut online (or i probably looked bad for it) so i tried to make it all on my own.

for this project i used fine weight wool + acrylic yarn and 3,5 mm hook. the hat itself was done in half-double crochet stitch but i think it will also look good with light weight yarn and single crochet.

i don't really think that this tut is beginner friendly, sorry :(

i made a video on how to do strands on top of the head (idk how to call these long thingies), i hope it's understandable:

so blue strips are the increases. the main problem with this pattern may be that the star might look swirly.

so i suggest to watch this (the end of the video) and also this tuts to look how to do it right (these are all about that original pattern but i think you can understand how to adjust it for your lain hat), i'm bad at explaining, really :(

crochet the circle until it's the size of your head (diameter of top of the hat = head circumference/π). then crochet it without increases until it's comfy for you to wear.

or you can do a pompom, it will look cute too.

to the bear. first do a mc, sc and crochet until it's the size you want it to be. then the ears. i made a video but tumblr said i can't add more than one :( basically you insert the hook, do a sl st, then hdc, 2 dc in next stitch, hdc again, then you do 4-5 sl st and repeat for the second ear. do a circle smaller than the first one: it will be its muzzle. embroider a nose. sew head and muzzle together. do french knots for eyes. sew it on your hat.

mark where your earflaps should be, the width of earflaps is 19 stitches. the pattern for them:

then in the end of the earflap do strings: ch 21 and then sl st.

good luck!

weave in all the ends and you're done! you can block it if you want to.

it took me about 6 hours to crochet this but you could probably do it faster than me, lol.

here's the hat after blocking (almost nothing changed, haha)

PS it also will be cool if you show me your lain hats if you'll actually crochet it, just tag me!
