The Zipper Hat
The Zipper Hat
"THE ZIPPER STITCH HAT AND MESSY HAIR BUN HAT I like to play with stitches and make them look different to what they are. In this pattern I have created a new look sc, which is combined with the hdc. The hdc is worked as normal, around the post, or in the back loop for subtle pattern changes. I believe you will enjoy making this Unique Crochet Hat, the new sc stitch, which I am going to refer as to the zipper stitch (zsc), will be used in alternating rows and in color 2. I have included a video of this stitch being made, it's at the bottom of this post. The hat begins from the brim, which is made in a strip then joined, the hat is the made upward and in rounds that are joined. The pictures will illustrate the zipper stitch and the progress of the pattern. Lets begin. This hat can be made in all sizes, from baby to adult, for males or females, it has a stitch repeat of just 1. The brim when stretched out, needs to be the size of the circumference of the head you are making it for. For example, I want a hat that fits a head size of 21 inches around, so I make the length of my brim measuring 21 inches when stretched (not stretched it measured 17 inches), for this size it was 46 rows."

I thought I knew what the Zipper Stitch was, but after watching the video provided by the designer, its a new one on me. The results look similar to just working Single Crochet in reverse, but this is worked in a completely different way. Do watch the video (the YouTube option is better) even though its a bit out of focus. Its much better at explaining the stitch than the still photos.

I want to make this just because of the name and gift it and make sure I include that this is a zipper hat. Can you see the look on their face trying to determine what a zipper hat would be? I like quirky and this title for this design is just that, quirky.

This is a cute crochet technique. I love to learn new crochet techniques because it makes the time I do get to spend crocheting more fun. I know just the person to make this zipper hat for. It is almost the end of January, but I think there are a few more cold days to get a little wear out of it.

This is a interesting hat pattern. I love learning new stitches and this hat pattern does just that! This Zipper Hat pattern is well done and sounds easy enough to do. I like that there is a video showing how the zipper single crochet stitch is done. Very unique looking this stitch is. I'll be making this one and hope it come out like the pictured one. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet hat pattern.

You know, Michaels stores carries their Impeccable yarn in dozens of fun, funky, modern, saturated colors I think I would use this yarn to make this hat. It works up soft (even though it is 100% acrylic) and stretchy, each and every time. Think of the many, many color combos you could come up with for an entire wardrobe of fashion hats! Coordinate your pompom with the yarn if you'd like.
