The Marjorie Hat is a textured stitch sampler crochet hat and a free crochet pattern by Nana’s Crafty Home!

Once I completed the Marjorie Pocket Scarf I knew that these stitches would look fantastic in a hat and wanted to share that design with you as well. And I had just enough of Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch Premium* to make it in the same gorgeous colors!

Pattern Notes:

• Ch 3 at beginning of each row does count as a stitch.
• To adjust height of hat, chain foundation chain in multiples of 4.
• I used a Chainless Starting Double Crochet Stitch in place of the beginning chain 3 of row.
• Stitch count remains the same throughout unless otherwise indicated.
• Hat is worked flat row by row in a rectangle and then seamed together.

Fasten off leaving a long tail approximately 40” long for sewing.  Weave in  remaining ends.

Lay rectangle flat with RS facing out, fold ends of rectangle together, whip st edges of hat together by working in back loops of last row and unused loop from foundation chain. 

After seaming the side of the hat, make a simple knot at top of hat before closing top of hat. This will prevent side seam from bunching when pulling top of hat closed. With same length of yarn, weave needle between ch 3 of each row and pull top of hat closed. Sew any remaining hole shut. I have a compete photo & video tutorial for sewing the top of a hat closed.

Attach pom pom, if desired. Weave in remaining ends. 

With RS facing, attach Color A to bottom edge of hat with sl st.

Row 1:  ch 1, sc evenly around edge of hat, sl st to 1st st.

Fasten off.  Weave in ends.
