Crocheted pilot hat

Source

During one of my many Pinterest browsing sessions I came across this cute pilot hat on Sarah's blog. As I had expected, my stepsister found it absolutely adorable and I decided to make this hat in blue, to fit with his jacket.

I followed Sarah’s pattern, which I also translated into Dutch.

 

Materials used

4,0 crochet hook
Hema medium 100% acrylic wool in dark blue, lighter blue and white.

Gebruikte wol

Making the hat

I made the hat in size ‘Toddler’, however it turned out not to fit him. I would advise to measure first (which seems so obvious now) and make later. I later made it in a larger size after getting his mother to measure his head and hopefully this one will fit (have not had the chance to give it yet).

I then continued with the goggles, which I did in the lighter blue. The white circles on the goggles are made using surface crochet, and again a white border was made using the white wool as well. Here I did choose a single row.

Goggles

I pinned the goggles to the hat and subsequently used slip stitches to attach them to the hat. The loose ends I tucked away using my crochet hook.

For the second hat I made (not in these pictures) I also created a band for the goggles which I also attached with slip stitches, following a line of double crochet to make sure it went on in a straight line.

 

And this is the end result!

Would you give this pattern a try?
