Tiffany Flapper Capper

Tiffany Flapper Capper Crochet Hat by Jessie Rayot

What is Being Made

The Tiffany Flapper Capper is a crocheted hat designed for adult medium sizing, fitting most women. This project creates a vintage-inspired flapper-style hat using a combination of two distinct yarn weights and color palettes to achieve its finished design aesthetic.

Craft and Primary Technique

This is a crochet project classified at an intermediate skill level. The pattern is suitable for crocheters with foundational knowledge who are ready to work with multiple yarn weights and manage color changes within a single garment. The design demonstrates intermediate-level construction techniques typical of structured hat patterns.

Stitches Used

The Tiffany Flapper Capper employs several fundamental crochet stitches to build its structure:

• Single crochet (sc) — the primary stitch used for the main fabric construction, worked at a gauge of 18 stitches by 18 rows over 4 inches in size 3 yarn
• Double crochet (dc) — used for shaping and textural elements
• Half double crochet (hdc) — incorporated for transitional sections
• Chain (ch) — foundational stitch for starting rounds and creating openwork spaces
• Slip stitch (sl st) — used to join rounds and create seamless transitions

The pattern also utilizes spaces (sp) created between stitches for openwork details characteristic of flapper-era hat design.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

This pattern requires two coordinating yarns to achieve its color-blocked design:

• Yarn A: Furls Whims Merino Size 3 (DK weight, 15 wraps per inch), 182 yards per 100 grams, in Dyed Turquoise Ombre — 1 skein required
• Yarn B: Furls Whims Merino Size 4 (worsted weight, 11 wraps per inch), 103 yards per 100 grams, in Dyed Yellow Ombre — 1 skein required (40 yards / 40 grams)

The combination of DK and worsted weight yarns creates intentional textural and visual contrast within the finished hat. A US size 7 (4.5 mm) crochet hook (designated as G+ by Furls) works with both yarn weights to achieve the specified gauge.

Additional Supplies

Beyond yarn and hook, the pattern requires a yarn needle for weaving in ends and a locking stitch marker for tracking rounds and pattern repeats during construction.
