Looking for a pattern for a hat using size 4 crochet hook

Does anyone know of a crochet pattern for a men’s hat using hook size 3–4? My husband picked out yarn for that hook size, but I don’t have a pattern. It should be suitable for beginners.
Thank you very much
Arni

hi Arni

which yarn did he choose? I have a pattern for a hat; according to the label, the yarn used would also be for hook size 4, but I ended up making it with hook size 5.0.

It would be this one here: Zebra Hat

 

Hello Berlidesign, thank you very much
The yarn is called Schachenmayer original Universa
However, I think he had a very simple hat in mind.
Best regards
Arni

HUHU...
well, without the ears and mane, it would just be a plain hat....

grin

so now I know what kind of yarn you have :)

have you ever crocheted a hat before?

I’ll write down the basic steps for you now, so you can crochet a nice hat

First, let’s work out the size of the hat

For that, we need the head circumference of the future wearer.

Hat width: (head circumference ÷ 3.14) + 1 cm
Example: 56 ÷ 3.14 = 17.83, round up to 18 cm + 1 cm = 19 cm

Hat length 1:
Hat width + 2 cm
Example: 18 + 2 cm = 20 cm

Total hat length (hat length 2):
then add another 2 to 3 cm for the hat edging in single crochet or hdc
Hat length 1 + 2 cm
Example: 20 cm + 2 cm = 22 cm

so that means if your sweetheart has a head circumference of 56 cm, the hat needs to be 19 cm wide (= diameter of the circle)

and 20 cm long in pattern, plus another 2-3 cm for an edging or hat brim

************************

I think that’s clear :)

R1:
Start with a magic ring or 2 ch

into the MR or into the 1st ch, crochet 6 hdc

R2
double every hdc = 12

R3
double every 2nd hdc = 18

and so on. So you increase by 6 stitches every round until the circle is the right width for the hat

Once you’ve reached that, just keep crocheting in length - so don’t increase or decrease any more stitches!

Now start the pattern

work alternately:
sc, dc, sc, dc, ........

crochet that until hat length 1 is reached

then crochet another 3 cm in length, but here work only single crochet or hdc, whichever you like better, then bind off, weave in ends, and you’re done :)

 

Let me know if this helps you or if you’re happy with the result

Oh, great, thank you so much. Yes, I’ve crocheted a hat before, but only with really thick yarn (hook size 10). I wasn’t sure whether it would work the same way with thinner yarn. Thank you so much. I’ll try it out right away.

I’ll do it! :-) Thanks

With thicker yarn, you’ll just finish faster… haha

it works with any yarn weight :_)

You could also use two strands of yarn and crochet with a size 6 or 7 hook :-) Just thought of that

No. He specifically picked that yarn because it isn’t that thick. He thinks my thicker yarn is too feminine! (He’s a bit weird sometimes) :-) but thanks

Men, you know...

Hi Nicole,
The hat is finished and looks great! But crocheting is more fun with thick yarn :-)
Thanks so much for the tips!

Hey, that’s great...... I’m glad it turned out well and, above all, that it was well received :)

Yeah, thick yarn does have its advantages :)

I just found your post today. I was supposed to make a hat out of thin yarn. Thank you so much! It’s working out great. I was about to give up.

Best regards, Susi
