How to Make the Crochet Puff Stitch
Puff Stitch Decrease
Puff Stitch Crochet Hat Pattern
Brim Instructions
The brim is worked flat in rows and is joined in the round at the end.
Row 1: Ch 7, sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each of the 5 rem chs, turn (6 stitches)
You are working in the back loops only (blo) for rows 2-64.
Rows 2- 64: ch 1, sc in each st in the blo, turn (6 stitches)
Join in the round and sc the seam together. Do not fasten off.
Flip your brim inside out so that the seam is on the inside.
Hat Instructions
Rnd 1: Ch 2 and make a puff stitch in every other row of the brim. Since there are 64 rows you should end up with 32 puff stitches. (32 stitches)
Continue working in the round without joining. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.
Rnds 2- 15: Make one puff stitch in each ch-1 space from the previous rnd. (32 stitches)
For rounds 16-18 you will be making puff stitch decreases.
Rnd 16: Make puff stitch decreases for the entire round. (16 stitches)
Rnd 17: Make puff stitch decreases for the entire round. (8 stitches)
Rnd 18: Make puff stitch decreases for the entire round. (4 stitches)
Use a tapestry needle to sew the remaining stitches together and fasten off. Weave in all of your ends.
Pom Pom Instructions
Tool: Extra large pom pom maker
Yarn: Red Heart Fur Yarn
Firmly and evenly wind your Red Heart Fur Yarn around each set of arches. After the first set of arches, close them and then wind your yarn around the second set.
Photos are from my Santa Hat pattern.
Cut the yarn between each set of arches.
Use a scrap piece of yarn (I don’t recommend using fur yarn for this) to tie the pom pom in place. I recommend you double/triple knot it.
Carefully open the arches.
Use a hot melt adhesive to place a dab of glue in the center of the pom pom. This will help prevent it from unraveling.
Fluff your pom pom and trim any long ends.
Use a tapestry needle to attach your pom pom to the top of your hat.
