You’re never too old to wear a sock monkey hat! This adult size is so easy to make, I finished it in one evening while watching the World Series game. It would be easy to resize for kids by just reducing the number of rounds. You’ll find the pattern below.
Materials: Worsted weight yarn: one ball each light grey, cream, and dark red /
6 mm hook / stitch marker / Note: Use a stitch marker to work in continuous rounds.
With Grey yarn, ch 4 and sl st in first ch to make a ring.
Round 1: 8 hdc into ring (place stitch marker in first hdc to mark beginning of next round and move marker to do the same with the first stitch of every round) (8)
Round 2: 2 hdc in each st around (16)
Round 3: *hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around (24)
Round 4: *hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around (32)
Round 5: *hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around (40)
Round 6: *hdc in next 4 sts, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around (48)
Round 7: *hdc in next 5 sts, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around (56)
Round 8: *hdc in next 13 sts, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around (60)
Round 9 to Round 18: hdc in each st around (60) Fasten off at end of Round 18 and attach Cream yarn.
Round 19 & Round 20: Using Cream, sc in each st around. Fasten off at end of Round 20 and attach Red yarn (60)
Round 21: Using Red, sc in each st around. Fasten off and attach Cream (60)
Round 22 & Round 23: sc in each st around (60). Fasten off and weave in end.
Optional: Make a pom pom with your Red yarn and attach to hat. Enjoy!
