Introducing The Lauren Bobble Hat!


This hat was designed for my daughter as she wanted a bobble hat but likes to be different. She has named it The Lauren Bobble Hat and I am designing fingerless gloves to match. It should fit a teenager/young adult. My daughter is almost eight and it is a little slouchy on her. I have a small head and it fits me perfectly. The pattern below is my own design. I will write two patterns, one in UK terms which will appear first, then one in US terms which I will put below. If you prefer to follow US terms scroll down. I hope you like this hat as much as my daughter does!

UK Terms

Notes:

* fptc = front post treble crochet
*bptr = back post treble crochet
*I folded the ribbing in half, as is the traditional style of a bobble hat. I sewed the ribbing into place so for easy of wear. This is personal preference and not necessary.
* to make this hat for a bigger head increase by 2 tr per shell (6tr, ch2, 6tr) on row 6 and repeat row 6 for row 7 and ch4 instead of ch3 for row 8
*to make the hat smaller stop increasing on the shells sooner and do less chains between stitches on row 8
