Product Description
This is a quick to make hat in single crochet using the Tapestry Crochet technique. 3 sizes are offered, 22, 23, and 24". You will need approximately 65 g of Main Color and 25 g of a Contrast Color of an aran or worsted weight yarn.
For the blue/lime version with smaller diamonds, follow these mods:
Small Diamonds Version
Use a multiple of 6 for starting Round 19 so adjust your stitches in Round 18 to get to 72, 78, 84, or 90. For this hat I used 90 st with worsted weight and an H hook for an XL size. Follow the same method for diamonds starting with 5 in MC, 1 in CC, followed by 3 and 3, 1 and 5, a solid round of CC, and so on. Follow photo for guidance.
With all sizes, you can snug up the last round a little bit by skipping stitches on the last slip stitch round.

Maureen Crocheted Hat by Julie Yeager
What Is Being Made
The Maureen is a ladies' crocheted hat designed by Julie Yeager, available in three sizes: Medium (22" circumference), Large (23" circumference), and Extra Large (24" circumference). The hat measures 8 inches from crown to brim, creating a classic, close-fitting silhouette that works well over fuller hairstyles. The single crochet construction provides minimal stretch, making a slightly loose fit intentional and flattering.
Techniques Used
This intermediate-level crochet project employs several fundamental techniques that build essential crochet skills. The hat is worked in the round, beginning with a magic ring or chain foundation and continuing in continuous rounds without joining between rounds. A stitch marker is used throughout to track the end of each round, maintaining pattern consistency.
The pattern incorporates color changes within rows, a technique sometimes called tapestry crochet. New colors are introduced by pulling the new yarn through as the last loop of the previous stitch, while the unused color is crocheted over to secure it neatly within the fabric. This method creates a professional, seamless color transition without loose ends.
Stitches Used
- Single crochet: The primary stitch throughout the hat, providing a dense, sturdy fabric with minimal stretch
- Slip stitch: Used to join the foundation chain into a ring and for other joining purposes
- Chain stitch: Used for the foundation and turning chains
Materials
The Maureen requires approximately 90 grams of yarn total, split between a main color (MC) at roughly 65 grams and a contrast color (CC) at roughly 25 grams. Vanna's Choice yarn is specifically recommended, though any aran or worsted weight yarn will work as a suitable substitute. A size I crochet hook is required, or whatever hook size is needed to achieve the specified gauge.
Gauge
The pattern calls for a gauge of 13 stitches and 13 rows to 4 inches in single crochet. Achieving this gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished hat size and fit.
