I did say that I have a boat load of acrylic yarn and am on a hat kick, right? And I mentioned that this an experimentation time, since I can’t do the same thing more than twice? Oh good, that established, here are more hats.

I tried the new-to-me crocheted ribbing technique combined with one of my favorite crochet textures: a woven stitch.

Technical summary: (American notation) Double crochet (dc) 12 into a magic circle. Increase 12 each row until diameter matches desired hat size. Switch to waffle pattern which is two front post crochet and two back post crochet for two rows. Offset the waffle pattern by two for the next two rows. Continue until the hat reaches the top of the ears. Chain 8, make single crochet back loop ribbing around the edge.

I also made Moogly’s Diamond hat in white.

I may be able to make an exception to the “only two” distractibility rule by interspersing different hats between making the diamond hat pattern. I like it that much.
