Crocheted Hat Patterns: Russian Skating Cap
-

Crocheted hat patterns: This entirely new and very smart model for a skating
cap is quite simple to make, and extremely becoming. The original was made of
“Princess” Pearl Crochet Cotton no. 3, but Corticelli Sweater Silk
could be used with delightful results. Each of these materials offers a large
variety of beautiful colors from which to choose.
Materials required: “Princess” Pearl Crochet Cotton
no. 3, art 453, 3 balls Tan no. 357, 1 ball brown no. 335; 1 large wooden button
mold two inches in diameter.
Instructions for working these corchet hat patterns: ch. 66
sts., turn, 1 s.c. in 2d ch. And s.c. in each chain across, making 65 sts. Work
13 rows altogether of plain s.c., always chain 1 to turn. Work one row of briar
stitch (which is putting your thread in front of needle each time and drawing
the loop up back of this thread, making a regular s.c.). Next row and every
4th row – widen 1 st. at each end of the needle, until there are 79 sts.
In width, then work 2 rows without widening and break thread, making 28 rows
of briar stitch and 13 rows plain s.c., these 13 rows being band for head size.
Trim with dark brown; commence about 2.5 inches back from one of the points
and work in briar stitch across top and down opposite side to the bad of s.c.
and work other half the same, then sew cap together, up both ends and across
top.
Band for crocheted hat patterns: Work in double afghan stitch
with both tan and brown (always taking up the stitc with the tan and using the
brown to draw through). Set up 29 sts. For width of band, make length to fit
around hat and join; work one row of briar stitch across one edge and sew other
edge on hat to turn up over the band of 13 rows of s.c. Cover large button mold,
draw point of hat in front down over band and fasten with button.
