Crochet Bumpy Bobble Cuff Hat

Crochet Bumpy Bobble Cuff Hat

This is a crochet hat with bobble stitch decoration using one skein of yarn. I used a bobble instead of a popcorn so I could practice for the Sheepjes CAL 2017 Hygge, and a starting chain of 35.

This is also my first hat worked flat, and not a beanie.

The original free pattern came from Allen Williams and can be found at Eating Out Loud, March 2012 also on Ravelry. His pattern uses popcorn stitch and is sized for a man with a starting chain of 45. (I love when guys crochet!)

Yarn: Lion Brand - Vanna’s Choice – Radiant Lime, 100% acrylic

Yarn Weight: Size 4, 100 grams, 170 yards

Yarn Needed: 1 skein

Gauge: Will be determined by the hook chosen.

Notes: The bobble rows have 3, each row is offset.

Depending on how wide you need, you may end up with the beginning and last row bobbles in the same place instead of offset. No problem, as that is the back.

There is a tight SC used to close the bobble, so there are 3 in each row.

I saved a little yarn and made a small pom pom to cover the top seam.

If you want the bobbles to really pop out, pull the "draw through all loops" very tight.
