Help! What do you think?!

Hi! 
I’d love to crochet a hat that I saw online... I really like the pattern, or rather the stitch type. But I don’t know whether it’s crocheted or knitted. Unfortunately, I can only crochet. If it really is crocheted, what is this stitch called?! I’ve attached a picture...

Best regards, and thank you soooo much for helpful answers 


The hat is part of the Stiegl Beer shop range from Austria
just ask there
Mod.
it’s also available directly from Amazon

Hi Alex_haekelt,
welcome to our forum. Please don’t upload pictures that don’t belong to you.
I’ve replaced the picture with a link to a store that sells the hat.
To me, the hat looks like it’s knitted.
Good luck!

Okay, sorry. I didn’t know that wasn’t allowed — I was just asking about the stitches. Too bad if it’s knitted. Thanks anyway.

I don’t think it’s a problem to crochet a hat like this, but the pros might have more to say about it.
I added two links above in your post—did you see them?

Yeah, but those are just links to where you can buy the hat. Right? I don’t think the people at Stiegl or Amazon would know what kind of stitches these are or whether it’s crocheted or knitted. 

These are merchandising hats; with items like this, there might be trademark protection, etc.
To me, the pattern looks relatively simple, but I’m definitely against supporting the reproduction of merchandising products. That’s why I included the purchase links in the thread. Crocheted hats definitely look different.

@Authors
This is knitted, right?
Please be so kind as to tell the lady what the pattern is called so she can find the relevant information about it or use a suitable pattern or video to make one herself without copying merchandising products.

Hi there,

I’m guessing it’s a hat knitted in reverse stockinette stitch.
However, I’m online on my phone, and when I zoom in on the pictures, they get blurry.

I’d be happy to take another look on my computer tomorrow if no one else has chimed in by then.

Best regards, Birgit 

Thanks! That would be really nice

It looks like a knitted seed stitch pattern.

I also think it’s a knitted seed stitch. That would be 1 knit stitch, 1 purl stitch alternately, and then staggered in the next round—so purl over the knit stitches and knit over the purl stitches.

Exactly :-)

Okay, thanks for the replies. If it’s knitted, then unfortunately that settles it for me. Thanks anyway.

Yes, I’d say the hat is knitted in seed stitch, too!
