Jayne Cobb Hat

Jayne Cobb Hat, free pattern ☺

Now, this is the first time I have ever written down a pattern.. so hopefully you guys don't get super confused and hate me.

Materials you will need:

• yellow yarn (I use red heart from Walmart)
• orange yarn
• red yarn
• 5.5 mm crochet hook (if you want the hat to be smaller use a smaller hook)
• yarn needle

These are the stitches you will need to know:

• ch (chain)
• st (stitch)
• ss (slip stitch)
• sc (single crochet)
• dc (double crochet)
• hdc (half double crochet)

with your yellow yarn first

row 1: ch 60 ss in first st.

row 2: ch 1 and then sc all the way around, sl in first st on this row

row 3: same as row 2. 

Do this for a total of 15 rows before you switch to your orange yarn. Once you fasten off your yellow yarn do 15 more rows with the orange exactly the same. Once you are done it will look like you have a tube. take some of your yellow yarn and weave it in and out of each stitch of the first  yellow row with a yarn needle. Pull it together and knot it to create the top of the hat. At this point I flipped it inside out because I liked the way the other side looked more.

Now to make a pom pom all you need to do is grab your yellow, orange, and red yarn and wrap it around your hand about 10 times. Once you have done that take some more yarn and use it to tie all the yarn together in the middle. Once you have done that then cut the yarn where it loops on each end. Then fluff it and sew it onto the top of your hat using a yarn needle.

For the ear flaps:

Switching to red yarn (make sure to leave long ends on the yarn)

row 1: ch 20
row 2: turn and dc into 3rd chain from hook, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, sc until you get back to the 1st stitch.
row 3: turn and ch 1, sc until you reach 3rd stitch from the end of the row. Now do 3 hdc to finish off the row.
row 4: turn and ch 1 sc until end of row turn and repeat for 4 more rows
row 9: turn and ch 1 sc until you get to 3rd ch from end of row. 3 hdc
row 10: turn and ch 2 dc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, sc until you reach the end of the row.

now weave both ends of your yarn in towards the middle so that you can pull them slightly causing the ear flap to curl a tini bit. tie yarn off so it doesn't come loose. 

Once both of your ear flaps are done, lay your hat flat so you can figure out where a good center point is. Attach each ear flap to the middle of each side of the hat. Sew or sc on the inside of the hat on the second row up, using your orange yarn so it doesn't show through.

I hope this made sense! Thanks for reading! ☺
