The knit stitch leaves stand out against a purl background, which makes this hat very stretchy. The poles the leaves climb meet very neatly at the crown. The bottom edge has a very slight scallop.

This is the in-the-round version of the pattern. There is a straight needle version here.

Sizes: The circumference measurements given are unstretched. This is a very stretchy hat.

Gauge: 17 stitches and 23 rows = 4 inches in stockinette

Materials:
worsted weight yarn (see chart above for amount)
Size 8 (5 mm) 47″ circular needle (for magic loop) or set of size 8 (5 mm) double pointed needles
Yarn needle

Abbreviations:
k = knit
p = purl
m1 = make one: With left needle pick up thread between last and next stitch inserting front to back. With right needle knit back loop.
k2tog = knit two together
ssk = slip one knitwise, slip one knitwise, insert left needle into front of both slipped stitches and knit.

Pattern:

Amount to cast on for the different sizes:

Baby = 56
Toddler = 70

Crocheting with homespun or bouclé or other knobby style yarn can be frustrating. This shawl does not require finding chain stitches. It is made starting from the neck working out, so can be made as small or large as you like. The lacy pattern keeps the shawl light even with a heavier yarn.

This pattern was designed to be easy for homespun or bouclé style yarns, but it can be made with just about any yarn. Make it in a solid color or with as many color changes as you like.

The example is made in Jo-Ann Sensations Breeze yarn.

Size: This shawl can be made any size. Five sizes are provided with yarn requirements.

Materials:

Yarn – Sizing given for sport weight yarn but other weights can be used

Size F (3.75mm) crochet hook (for other yarn weights, use appropriate hook size)

Abbreviations:

ch = chain

ch sp = chain space

dc = double crochet

sc = single crochet

Repeat rows 11-16 until shawl is desired size. Finish off and weave in end.

The shawl can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes. The best way to make a color change is to finish all but the very last pull through of the two loops of the last stitch of a row. Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through last two loops. Weave in ends.

This is an original design but is reminiscent of what might have been made a century or two ago. It works well in a solid color or multiple colors.

The example is made in worsted weight acrylic yarn, but because of the adjustable sizing, this shawl works well in any weight of yarn. Use a hook appropriate to the weight of yarn used.

Size: This shawl can be made any size. Five sizes are shown in this chart to help estimate yarn needs.

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn (see chart for amount)

Size J (6mm) crochet hook
