Crochet Hat for Everyone - very easy
(To
purchase/download, please click the image)
A wonderfully
easy-to-crochet hat for different styles, so
ONE hat model wearable in all the pictured variations, for both men and women. Also easy to make for children or as a simple hat for babies (though thinner yarn is recommended).
And the best part:
- no gauge (it doesn’t depend on the exact centimeter),
- no increases or decreases,
- for any yarn you like
- possible in all sizes.
The
PDF pattern is illustrated.
You need these
crochet skills: chain stitches, single crochet. Everything else and slip stitches are explained. (Video) link tips for learning to crochet for beginners are included in the PDF.
By the way: A matching crochet pattern for an infinity scarf to go with this hat is also available here in my shop:
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/20003/haekel-moebius-loop-schal-fuer-alle-einfach
Material:
for the pictured model with a head circumference of 55 cm to 60 cm: approx. 250 g merino yarn, 50 g – 45 m, crochet hook 6.0; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.
The ribbed pattern requires approx. 50 g more yarn than is normally usual for hats. The crochet hook size should match the yarn used in each case.

Conversion Table for Yarn Quantity, Alternative Yarn for Knitting and Crochet
(To
purchase/download, please click the image)
This is an
Excel spreadsheet for converting a yarn quantity from the “original yarn” to an “alternative yarn” of your choice.
Example:
The original yarn named in your pattern has a yardage of 85 m per 50 g. According to the instructions there, you need 600 g of this “original yarn” for your size. But you would like to make your piece in a different yarn (= alternative yarn). This yarn you have chosen has a yardage of 70 m per 50 g skein. You enter this information in the Excel spreadsheet and immediately receive the required quantity in skeins and grams for your desired yarn.
A gauge is always advisable. To determine the number of stitches needed for your individual knitted piece, an Excel conversion table for your gauge is included as a bonus.
Technical note:
My Excel spreadsheets contain calculation formulas and therefore require a so-called spreadsheet program. Calculations would not work in PDF format. So in order to open Excel spreadsheets, a spreadsheet program such as Excel, LibreOffice (available free of charge
http://de.libreoffice.org/) or OpenOffice (available free of charge
http://www.openoffice.org/de/) must be installed on the respective device. Then the file can be opened with a double-click.
Sometimes the white input fields in Excel spreadsheets cannot be changed; the message “Protected View” appears at the top of the screen - then please click “Enable Editing.”

Sock Knitting Course for 4-ply Yarn Using Newborn Baby Socks
(To
purchase/download, please click the image)
This is an
illustrated sock knitting course using baby socks size 15
knitted from 4-ply sock yarn and consists of a total of 4 PDF files:
- the main pattern,
- handwritten sketches,
- baby sock chart for sizes 15 - 20
- and a sock chart for sizes 22 - 47.
There is also a
brief baby mitten pattern included, since parts of the baby sock pattern can be used for it.
Don’t be alarmed! It is more difficult to describe the process than to knit the socks.
Materials needed:
approx. 15 g 4-ply sock yarn for the baby socks, approx. 10 g 4-ply sock yarn for the baby mittens, for adult socks up to size 44: 100 g sock yarn; if larger, then 150 g is required. Set of double-pointed needles 2.5, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle.
The baby socks can also be embroidered, for example, and used in various ways - not only as baby socks - e.g.
as “packaging” for cash gifts or sweets, as an Advent calendar, as a keychain (scaled down proportionally looks prettier), etc.
Wishing you lots of fun with all your projects.
