Stitches Used

The Cutie Bear Doll Hat incorporates several core crochet stitches to construct the hat:

• Single crochet (sc) - A fundamental short stitch used for structure and shaping
• Half double crochet (hdc) - A medium-height stitch providing balanced fabric density
• Double crochet (dc) - A taller stitch used for creating lighter, more open sections
• Treble crochet (tr) - An even taller stitch for specific design elements
• Slip stitch (sl st) - Used for joining rounds and finishing edges seamlessly
• Increases (2 hdc in 1 space) - Creates shaping and expansion where needed
• Decreases (hdc2tog) - Reduces stitch count for shaping and fitting
• Back loop only (BLO) - A technique worked through only the back loop for textured effects
• Chain stitch (ch) - The foundation stitch for starting the project

This pattern uses DK weight yarn (also called Light Worsted or #3 weight), which provides a lightweight yet durable fabric ideal for doll-sized projects. The pattern calls for approximately 79 meters or 87 yards of yarn total. The designer specifies King Cole Pricewise brand yarn for this project.
