This is a hat I made for some friends who are Alabama fans and having a baby girl. The hardest thing to find is the houndstooth ribbon made popular by coach Bear Bryant. We finally found some at Hobby Lobby. This is a simple pattern and could be adapted for a narrower ribbon by changing the 11th row to DC. For all you Alabama fans out there, Roll Tide!!
For this hat I used a size I/5.5mm hook
Bernat Satin yarn in Flamingo
and 5/8 inch houndstooth ribbon from Hobby Lobby
Round 1: 10 DC in the loop, join together at the top of the first DC and ch 2.
Round 2: 2 DC in each st around (20 DC), join together at the top of the first DC, ch 2.
Round 3: 2 DC in the first st 1 DC in the next, repeat around (30 DC), join together at the top of the first DC, ch 2.
Round 4: 2 DC in the first st 1 DC in the next 4 sts, repeat around (36 DC), join together at the top of the first DC, ch 2.
Round 5: 2 DC in the first st 1 DC in the next 5 sts, repeat around (42 DC), join together at the top of the first DC, ch 2.
Rounds 6-10: 1 DC in each st around (42 DC), join together at the top of the first DC, ch 2.
At the end of round 10 ch 3.
Round 11: 1 TC in each st around (42 TC), join together at the top of the first TC, ch 1.
Round 12: is done in a shell stitch, to start SC in the same st as the ch 1 then sk the next two sts and make 5 DC in the next st, sk the next two sts and SC in the next st. Repeat the shell (sk the next two sts, 5 DC in the next st, sk the next two sts and SC in the next st) around the base of the hat making 7 shells total, tie off and weave in end.
Weave the ribbon in the TC row and tie a bow on the side of the hat. I pulled up two stitches and left 4 behind the ribbon for a pattern.
