Block It Hat by Vicki Roberts
What Is Being Made
The Block It Hat is a crochet hat pattern designed by Vicki Roberts and available as a downloadable PDF from Off the Hook for you. This project creates a finished hat worked in the round using contrasting color blocks for visual interest. The design is suitable for crocheters of all skill levels, classified as a beginner difficulty pattern.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
The Block It Hat is worked in the round with the right side facing throughout the entire project, creating a seamless construction. The pattern uses USA crochet terminology. Starting chains count as stitches within the pattern, which is an important detail for maintaining proper stitch counts and shaping. The use of a stitch marker is recommended to help track the beginning of each round as you work in the round.
Stitches Used
While the specific stitch abbreviations are not detailed in the provided pattern information, the gauge measurement indicates the pattern employs a stitch pattern that measures 25 stitches by 14 rows over 10 centimeters. This gauge measurement is essential for achieving the correct finished hat size and fit.
Yarn and Materials
The Block It Hat pattern calls for Juniper Moon Farm Findley DK yarn, a luxurious blend of 50% extrafine merino wool and 50% mulberry silk. This blend provides both warmth and a subtle sheen. The yardage per ball is 119 meters (131 yards) per 50-gram ball. The pattern requires 2 balls in Grey (colorway 22) for the main color and 1 ball in Blue (colorway 21) for the contrasting color blocks, allowing for creative color blocking in the finished hat.
Tools and Notions Required
- 4.5mm crochet hook for working with the DK weight yarn
- Tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends and finishing
- Stitch marker to track round beginnings
- Pompom maker (8cm) for creating a coordinating pompom topper
Pattern Details and Gauge
Achieving the correct gauge is important for this project. The pattern specifies a gauge of 25 stitches by 14 rows measured over 10 centimeters when worked in the stitch pattern. Working with a 4.5mm hook and DK weight yarn should help you achieve this gauge. Always swatch and measure your gauge before beginning the full project to ensure your finished hat will fit properly.
