Just what I needed - I have thrown myself back into the world of crochet, and was looking for some hat patterns.

ROFL!!!! Right on!

Strange....I got the Imperial Theme from Star Wars going through my head when I looked at my crochet hook.

About a year and a half ago at a dentists appointment, I was having a regular cleaning while being entertained by a tv way up in the ceiling that I could watch while having peoples hands in my mouth for an hour. I got to watch Star Wars.

On the same day in the same appointment, I was due to have an x-ray to check on the position of my wisdom teeth. Now a wisdom teeth x-ray is a huge contraption of a thing that you stick your whole head into and they lower and raise bits and pieces of it until it fits your head securely, then you have to bite down on a plastic piece and hold very still while this robotic arm spins around your head taking pictures and making robotic-y type noises. Having just watched an hour of Star Wars robots, it was all I could do to keep a straight face and not feel like I had just been tossed into the movie as well.

I will teach you to knit one day, it's not really that difficult.

Another very easy pattern which I have made for another charity before is this one
SLK baby hat by Susan Krauss. Sorry I can only link on Ravelry!!!!!
The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.

I MUST go check out Ravelry. I simply must. It sounds like an excellent site. Meanwhile THIS site is a link to many other free patterns....if the pattern listed has a + before it, it means you must register for free at that site, others are free for the taking--the number of free patterns available is astonishing, this is a good way to find them:

I highly recommend this one, listed as "Amish Cap" under the Children's Hats area....
http://www.craftown.com/cropat21.htm Scroll down to the second hat--this is PERFECT for babies and little kids, simple and practical...basically a hood with tie strings. Take a glance.

By far the easiest beanie pattern I have seen so far is the single crochet beanie posted by RhondaH.
Find the pattern at
http://firebrunette.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/single-crochet-beanie-...
and check out Rhonda's beautiful photos on this forum.

It is adaptable to all sizes, depending on how much of the crown pattern you do... and what I like about it is that you can do a whole bunch of "crowns" when you're in the mood for counting, and the rest of the hat is just single crochet, round and round... to be picked up whenever you just want to do something mindless.
Easy enough for a beginner, works up quickly... just awesome. thanks Rhonda!!

Thanks Anne, I've copied that one off and shall also give it a go! :D

Thanks, Anne. I appreciate your nice comments. It is a nice pattern. I've used everything from sport to Aran weight yarn, and all of the hats turned out great.

Another easy pattern is from the LionBrand site for the Teeny Beanie. I use that one quite a lot for the smaller size hats, but often add to the length.

i love your idea to make a bunch of crowns and leave the single crocheted sides for a time when you don't want to have to concentrate on counting. That's a brilliant idea!

I agree, Rhonda, that's a super idea Anne. Rhonda thank you for the sc beanie pattern. I'm using it this morning once I unplug from this cyber beastie. And I'll go look up the Teeny Beanie on the LionBrand site too.

Hmm I tried making that, and all I got was a crocheted pringle potato chip.
