I have a love for the movie Blood and Chocolate..so the name these colors remind me a little of that movie. Still trying to get my hands on a copy of the book!
This hat is a great project to have for winter. I used the Caron Simply Soft Eco, double stranded so it is very soft and warm. One I used a black and red held together throughout for a tweedy look. Possibilities are endless!

ReplyDeleteThank you both so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pattern!
ReplyDeleteI love this hat!
I love this, I can't wait to try one for my girls, they will love this! :) Thanks for making it free! -glad I stumbled on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute, this one will be the next project I start, love the color....
ReplyDeleteHey, I love your hats! However I'm a little new to crocheting. I can do all the stitches but I'm trying to adjust these to fit my 9 month old. I"m kind of guessing on how to adjust the pattern but am not being very successful. Is there a trick to adjusting these patterns to smaller heads?
ReplyDeleteYou can use a smaller hook and or use ond strand of yarn instead of two. You can also do less increase rounds, but you would have to take away some stitches from the brim.
ReplyDeleteFabulous name (I love that movie too!) for a fabulous hat. I know just who I am making this for as a Christmas present.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found your blog!
Hi there- found this pattern when Googling- love it- but I'm having problems with it. I'm used to crocheting in the round so this is a slight adjustment for me- I keep ending up with a hole at the end of my round... am I supposed to be crocheting into the chains or skipping over them to join into the first st?? Thanks for your help-
ReplyDeleteHey there! I did your Olivia's Butterfly hat for myself and LOVED it. Can't wait to try one of these for my niece.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you if you've gotten yourself a copy of Blood and Chocolate yet? I realize you posted this back in September, but I had to ask as I am in charge of Teen Services at a library and Blood and Chocolate has been one of my favorite books for years. If you haven't gotten it already, they recently reprinted it, so it should be easy to find in a chain bookstore.
Happy crafting!
This is an awesome hat and I was curious if we could use a size smaller hook? if it would effect the outcome of the hat.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to make this hat and having the most difficult time. Mine comes out big enough for a large man and the top is flat. First one I unraveled. 2nd I just kept going thinking it would be as big as I thought. The 3rd one just has me very discouraged. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHey mama I love to crochet and I love your patterns! Keep up the good work you do and you inspire me to keep on making thingsfrom the heart. Keep the patterns going!
ReplyDelete@Lynne - same thing happened to me. I unraveled the first and used an H hook. It still came out just a little big, but I kinda like it not too fitted because I used wool. I didn't notice there was a gauge on the pattern, so not sure how to measure before you start.
ReplyDeleteWould this fit an adult? Sounds like it from some of the posts..
ReplyDeleteHow many skeins would you suggest using? Looks to be about 2 or so.
ReplyDeleteWill the brim still stay "up" if I only crochet with one piece of yarn? I am using variegated yarn and if I hold two I don't think I will achieve the look I am wanting.
ReplyDeleteTotal beginners' question: I didn't see any "turns" is that because I don't turn after for example, for each ...ch2, ?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern, i love these hats and i was tired of paying target for them.....
ReplyDeleteSince I'm using a bulkier yarn on this I knew a smaller hook was in order, but I grabbed half a MM too small so I frogged it. Now I'm going to experiment with double strands of bulky, and the small hook! Good thing I've got time to play around before Christmas! Haha ... Might just have to make a few for myself too (: I love this pattern! (And the movie too!) Thanks so much for posting it (:
