 Cross-Over Long DC Hat This is my crochet hat pattern with the long dc. The size given in this pattern is for a teen or small adult size. But the good thing about crocheted hats though is that you can easily adjust the size for a custom fit. For this pattern you could try a thicker yarn and larger hook, or just do more repeats of the increase rows. Special instructions are given for that in a pattern note. This hat is crocheted with a brim, but you could just as easy go without it and wear it as a beanie. For me the brim looks okay as it is, but for a sturdier brim you could add a lining underneath to help keep the shape better. Other patterns using this stitch pattern are a twisted cowl, fingerless gloves, cellphone cozie and a coin purse. Still to come are a purse and a pouch. This Pattern was Tested By: Ashley Marie Thank you both very much for sticking with me on this one, and for helping me correct it twice. :) I had a great time working with you and hope to work with you on many more patterns.

There are two ways to increase the size: A larger hook and thicker yarn, or do more repeats of the increase rows. Abbreviations: Ch/Chs = Chain/Chains Working the Cross-Over Long Double Crochet: For this pattern the cross-over long double crochet is worked into the last stitch made in previous round, or into the skipped stitch of current round. To make the stitch, yarn over and insert the hook from front to back into designated stitch. Yarn over at the back and pull through. You should have three loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through first two loops. Yarn over and pull through last two loops.
