Open Weave Hat by EasyPatterns

What Is Being Made

The Open Weave Hat is a crocheted beret available in two finished sizes: Adult Medium and Adult Large. This design features an open weave construction created through a modular motif approach, combining geometric hexagon and pentagon shapes that are joined together to form the finished hat structure.

Crochet Techniques Used

This intermediate-level pattern employs a modular construction method where individual motifs are crocheted separately and then joined together. The design uses hexagon motifs (numbered N1 through N30) and pentagon motifs (numbered N14 through N19) as the primary building blocks. The pattern includes detailed assembly instructions with diagrams to guide the joining process, and charted instructions are provided to clarify the joining methods between motifs.

Stitches and Stitch Details

The pattern is worked primarily in double crochet stitches, as indicated by the gauge specification of 48 double crochet stitches over 10 centimeters (4 inches) in width. The open weave effect is achieved through the strategic spacing and joining of these motifs rather than through lace stitches within individual rows. The gauge also specifies 24 rows per 10 centimeters (4 inches) in height.
