Updated Striped Hat Pattern!! (3 Sizes!)

I finally got this pattern worked out for Child/ Women's/ and Men's sizes.  This pattern IS different from the other version... but I thought this was a little easier to follow.



Materials: 

· I hook (hat body) and H hook (bottom rim)

· 4 colors of Worsted, Med yarn. (I used Vanna’s choice Sapphire, Chocolate, Mustard, and Olive)

Special stitch: 

This diagram shows where the horizontal bar (or diagonal looking stitch) is located (on WRONG SIDE of rnd):

ALL SIZES:

Ch 4, ss to 1st ch to form loop (or do a magic circle), ch 2.

Rnd 1: With color #1: Work 8 hdc into loop. Join with ss to back horizontal bar (or diagonal loop -- that's what it looks like to me!) behind beginning (you will do this through the whole pattern! See special stitch picture above) ch 1. Change to color #2. (8) ch 1.

Rnd 2: Work 2 hdc in same st as joining (always do this at the beginning of each row). 2 hdc in each back diagonal st around. This will make the stripes stand out, so remember to always do it throughout pattern. Join & change to color #3. (16) ch 1.

Rnd 3: 2 hdc in same st as joining, 1 hdc in next st. * 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 4. (24) ch 1.

Rnd 4: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 2 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 2 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 1. (32) ch 1.

Rnd 5: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 3 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 3 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 2. (40) ch 1.

Rnd 6: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 4 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 4 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 3. (48) ch 1.

I used 3 colors on this one
and it just didn't have the
same look as the 4. For
beard pattern see links

Child's Size: (Small)

Rnd 7-18: hdc in each st around changing colors after each row. (48) (Note: always feel free to make the hat shorter or longer by taking out rows or adding them)

Rnd 20-22: sc around in each sc stitch.

Fasten and finish off.
