One of our members, P. Jeanne Haessler, was just telling us how she crochets a rectangle shape and then sews up 2 of the seams to make it a hat, but I can't find that discussion. Here is the link to her page; I'm sure she'd be happy to explain it to you if you email her or leave her a comment: http://square-circle-forum.ning.com/profile/PamelaJeanneHaessler?xg_source=profiles_memberList

Good luck!

Yep, the pattern was given to me by a fellow KASer.

Crochet a start chain of 8" (2-3 yrs.) or 8.5" (3-10 yrs. size) plus two, turn and sc across the row, ch 2. Next row sc in back loops only across, ch 2 turn. Repeat until piece measures 18"-20" (2-3 yrs. size) or 19"-20 1/2" (3-10 yrs. size). Fasten off, leaving 12" tail of yarn for seaming.

Using yarn needle or crochet hook, seam or crochet the two short sides together, leaving you a "tube". Fold hat flat. With the remaining yarn tail, crochet or sew across the top of one end of the "tube" (the long side now folded double) making sure to catch both edges, using big stitches and pull yarn tight to gather. That is the "top" of the hat. The other "long side" is left open of course.

Sew back across the gathered top to secure, take yarn to inside of hat, tie it off (or weave end in if you prefer, I knot them as it won't be noticed or felt), trim the yarn end to an inch or two, fold hat back other way out and presto...HAT! If you want it to have a fold-up brim just make the starting crochet chain 2 inches longer then, when finished, fold up the unseamed side for a "brim" or "cuff". :) If you make larger sized hats they just roll up the brim anyways and roll it down as the child grows. Single crocheting into the back loops gives this hat plenty of stretch for growing.

You can always add a trim of fluffy fun fur or something along the unseamed side if you wish. :)

Rachel I like how that 2nd pattern you listed has ear flaps. A brim on a hat can be pulled down over ears but sometimes ear flaps are great for warmth for older kids. Ties can get knotted up obviously but it's nice to have options for ear warmth! The first pattern you list, there are photos on KAS of finished hats done in this pattern, it works up really quickly, I've used it too.

This is my favorite that I use on a lot of my hats.

Here's the link for that pattern. It only calls for 14 rows, but I make mine longer so they can be turned up.
