Olympic Snowboarding Hat

Chloe Kim's Team USA Olympic Snowboarding Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Who has Olympic fever? This girl. We have been watching the games non-stop since the opening ceremony. I was watching when the first broadcast of the women's snowboarding competition was aired during the day. I was so amazed when I saw little Chloe Kim (who is a mere two inches taller than myself) win gold on the halfpipe. I was captured by her spirit and joy and couldn't stop watching. We stayed tuned in until they rolled out the winners' platforms and brought out those adorable medal avatars- the Korean stuffed tigers.

I knew that when I saw Chloe wearing that adorable chunky knit hat that it would instantly become a sensation! I admit that I really wanted to buy one. I wondered who made them, and I wanted to know more about the snowboarding team's uniform design, which cleverly mocked US space suits. 

After scouring the interwebs I realized that the hat would be impossible to purchase. I did discover that it was created by the snowboarding brand Burton, which designs and sells snowboards, apparel, accessories and gear. Burton designed the entire snowboarding uniform line for Team USA.

I was sure that many fiber artists would be creating copy-cat designs to please droves of customers clamoring for the iconic hat. Clearly the hat is knit. Experienced crocheters and knitters can tell the difference. The challenge for me was how to recreate the knit-look ribbing with crochet techniques. 

I've decided that for my design, half double crochet in the third loop would be perfect to replicate the ribbing of Chloe's knitted hat. I'm sure there are lots of talented knitters out there who can duplicate it exactly. I've also enjoyed the hats and winter wear of other teams as well. For example, Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway has been sporting this wide headband at nearly every event. From this picture it's not so plain but from what I've seen on TV this item is definitely crocheted! It would also be a fun one to recreate!

I have actually made this hat twice. When I went to the store I bought two kinds of super bulky, wool and acrylic. The acrylic hat pictured below took two full skeins and felt so darn heavy on my head, I doubt it would be very nice to wear for too long. But the shine and visual effect this yarn gives the ribbing are unmatched. The pom pom is also much flouncier- like the Burton hat.

Worked using Lion Brand's Hometown USA (6- Super Bulky) 100% acrylic in "Los Angeles Tan"

I also made this first prototype 6 stitches longer than the finished product (featured in this pattern), and it requires the brim to be folded up much wider to achieve the same look as Chloe. The pattern hat, pictured below is made with wool. When the pattern was shortened 6 stitches it gives the hat just the right overall length. The pom pom came out a little stiffer, but I think it's very cute. If you try a different yarn be sure to show me how it turns out by using #hautekippy on social media!

Worked in Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (6-Super Bulky) 80/20 in "Fisherman"

Hook: N/10mm

Yarn: 6-Super Bulky, Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Fisherman

Gauge: 5 rows, 9 sts =4” HDC in 3rd loop

Difficulty: Easy

Materials: Tapestry Needle, Large 4” pom pom

Finished Size: Adult, apx. 20”

Special Stitches: HDC in 3rd Loop- Half double crochet in the third loop, on the WRONG side of the stitch, make a hdc in the long horizontal bar located directly under the “v” on top of the stitch indicated. This pushes the “v” out sideways, making a knit look ribbed pattern on the textile.

Notes: It is possible to hdc in the 3rd loop of both the RIGHT and WRONG sides of an hdc stitch, however, in this pattern you are to turn the work at the end of the row and make the next row of hdc stitches in the wrong side (facing you) of the previous row. If you need help in determining the right and wrong sides of crochet work, many helpful videos and tutorials are available on the internet to explain this. 

Hat:

Chain 27

Row 1: hdc in each ch across, ch 1, turn. (26 sts)

Row 2: hdc in 3rd loop of each st across, ch 1 turn. (26 sts)

Rows 3-24: repeat row 2.

Row 25: hdc in 3rd loop of each st across, do not break yarn, fold work in half, matching up stitches of first and last rows, ch 1, sl st through back loop only and front loop only of both layers across to form a tube. Fasten off.

Pom Pom:

Cut cardboard strip 2” wide and lay a piece of yarn apx. 6” horizontally along strip. Wrap leftover yarn many, many times around cardboard and yarn. Wrap more than you think you need in order to make a plump and fluffy pom pom. Tie ends of yarn together very TIGHTLY around wrapped yarn. Cut wrapped yarn on opposite side of tie. Trim pom pom into symmetrical sphere. 

Finishing:

Thread a yarn needle with a length of yarn and weave yarn around top of hat, cinch and tie off to draw top of hat into a point. Sew pom pom on top of hat. Weave in ends. Fold up brim as desired.

Jailen Puff Hat

Hey there!

This post contains affiliate links, which benefits my blog when you click on them or subsequently make a purchase. Thanks for supporting more FREE content from Haute Kippy! 

Is the weather starting to turn in your neck of the woods yet? Our fall foliage is so beautiful, and we've had an unseasonable warm streak to enjoy it! I hope that wherever you are, you are having a beautiful autumn. To continue with our "Season of Hats" I have a very special children's hat for you today.

Hat Pictured in I Love This Yarn in Purple

The request for this hat came from the very sweet friend of my cousin. Her daughter is just the cutest, and she has a beautiful head full of springy, bouncy, natural black hair. She loves to wear winter hats, but there aren't any in the stores that can accommodate her luscious locks. She loves the idea of bun hats, but can't find any with two holes instead of one.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, necessity is indeed the mother of invention. When you need something, and can't find it, make it! (Or crochet it)

Now my friend's daughter and my Little One are about the same age. Though she has the wrong kind of hair to get the desired affect, I used Little One as a model and guinea pig to make the Jailen Puff Hat. So named for the self described "puffs" of hair that my little client loves to sport as part of her favorite hair-do.

Pictured in I Love This Yarn in Grape and Red Heart Super Saver in Pink

I wanted to make sure that the hat was warm and comfy, had cute styling and most importantly could accommodate those two puffs of hair. If your little love has straight hair, feel free to adjust the size of the holes on the sides of the hat making them slightly smaller.

This design features the same fun bobbles as the Kip Bun Hat, with a knit look brim, and of course two big and cozy holes at just the right place for pigtails or hair puffs!

If you have a natural haired little beauty of your own but don't crochet, please's don't fret. Although I have converted my online sales to patterns only, I still make and sell ready made goods. I sell locally, at craft shows, and through the mail. I take all major cards and PayPal and I always ship for free. If you need a Jailen Puff Hat (or any item I've designed) you can contact me on Facebook, or via email.

As always this crochet pattern is free! If you would like to own a clean, printer friendly PDF Download it can be purchased from my Etsy Shop or click the   button to get it from my Ravelry Store.

Now let's get started! 

• Yarn: I Love This Yarn 
• Hook: H8/5mm 
• Gauge: 6 sts = 2" in HDC or 1 bobble repeat = 1"
• Materials: Tapestry needle
• Difficulty: Easy
• Finished size: child/toddler apx. 16" before stretching

These are the type of tapestry needles I use. Yarn needles are often too big for successfully weaving in ends, and worst of all most of them are plastic. Great for kids and beginners, not so much for hard core crocheters. Trust me a big metal needle makes all the difference!



Special Stitches:

• Hdc Inc- half double crochet increase, make two hdc in the the next st
• Bobble Stitch - yo, insert hook into next st, yo, draw up loop, yo, draw thru two loops, *yo, insert hook into same st, yo, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru two loops*, repeat** two more times, (5 loops on hook) yo, draw thru all loops. Bobble will poof out behind work.
• Work in the third loop- make stitch indicated in the long horizontal bar found on the wrong side of the hdc stitch as opposed to the "v" in the top of the stitch.

Note: Ch at end of round does not count as a st, always make first st of next round in same st as join. Bobbles will not be aligned otherwise.

Gina Messy Bun Hat

Hi friends, this post contains affiliate links.

Are you still loving the messy bun hat trend? I sure am! I think lots of designers and crocheters are just getting started and some may even have designs stashed away for next fall. Here in West Virginia it seems spring is already upon us. We've had a banner week of warm and unseasonable temperatures- but that doesn't mean winter is over. We usually have a final snow at the end of the season around Easter, and I'm on the lookout for the temps to drop.

That's why I've got one more bun hat for you this winter. Like my other design this hat is made from the top down starting around an elastic hair tie. I really love using post stitches. They create such great texture and long lines. I've also had fun working the the third loop of crochet stitches. Another pattern that uses this technique is my Luxury Spa Wrap. You can read that guest post for more information about how to crochet in the third loop. The technique is described in detail in the main post on Stitch and Unwind. 

If you'd like to own this pattern in a clean, portable, printer friendly, ad-free version, a PDF download is available in my Etsy shop, OR click the buy now button  to get it from my Ravelry shop! Thanks for supporting more free content from Haute Kippy!

In case you need supplies, these are my favorite hooks:

...and this is my favorite yarn! I simply adore the feel and workability of Red Heart's With Love line. The Gina hat featured is photographed in Pewter.

Gina Bun Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Difficulty: Easy

Gauge: 6 sts = 2" in hdc and 5 rows fpdc = 2"

Hook: H8/5mm

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Heather Gray or any worsted
Finished size: apx 20" around and 7.5" from elastic to brim before stretching to fit.

Notions: yarn needle, elastic hair tie apx. 2" in diameter

Special Stitches:

fpdc- front post double crochet: yo, insert hook from front to back around post of indicated st on the right side of work, yo, and draw up a loop, yo draw thru 2 loops, yo draw thru last 2 loops on hook. fpdc made. 

hdc in 3rd loop: keeping right side racing, yo, insert hook into third loop (horizontal bar located directly below "v") on the wrong/back side of the indicated st, yo draw up a loop, yo draw thru all loops on hook. This forces the "v" on the top of the stitches of the prev round to fold over and face outward, creating a horizontal "knit-look" pattern on the right side of the work.

Note: Turning chs at beg of rounds do not count as sts. Make first st of round in same st as turning chs. Be sure to meet gauge to obtain size listed in pattern. Feel free to adjust hook size or number of rounds before brim in order to make a custom fit.





Gina Bun Hat:

Round 1: Join yarn to elastic hair tie and ch 1, hdc 30 around hair tie, join with a sl st to first hdc, ch 2.

Round 2: dc in the first st, and in each st around, join, ch 2. (30 sts)

Round 3: dc in first st, then fpdc around same st, *dc around next st then fpdc around same st*, repeat ** around, join, ch 2. (60 sts)

Round 4: dc in first st, fpdc in the next, *dc, fpdc*, repeat ** around, join, ch 2.

Rounds 5-12: repeat round 4, ch only 1 at end of round 12.

Round 13-15: hdc in third loop of each st around, join, ch 1.

Round 16: sc in the third loop of each hdc from the prev round, join, do not ch.





Round 17: sl st loosely in each st around, join, fo.

Hint- a blind join looks great here, at the end of round 17. 

Here's how: sl st around until one st remains. Cut yarn leaving long tail for weaving in ends. Pull tail all the way through last sl st, eliminating the loop your hook went through. Thread yarn needle with tail. Sew yarn tail under "v" of next st (the first sl st made), and through the other side. Sew tail in through middle of the last "v" made and out on wrong side of work. Invisible join made. Knot tail once and then weave in ends as normal.

And there you have it! The fabulous plush ridges of the Gina Bun hat, with a stylish knit look brim.

Pattern Update! - Gina Beanie

I've had a request to turn the Gina into a beanie (with no hole at the top). I worked out a great looking conversion. We're still making the hat from the top down, but instead of crocheting into an elastic hair tie, we'll start with a ring...

Form magic ring.

Round 1: dc 15 into magic ring, join with a sl st to first dc made, ch 2. Pull starting tail to tightly close ring. (15 sts)

Round 2: dc into first dc, then fpdc around same st, *dc around next st then fpdc around same st*, repeat ** around, join, ch 2. (30 sts)

Round 3: dc into first dc, then fpdc around same st, *dc around next st then fpdc around same st*, repeat ** around, join, ch 2. (60 sts)

Round 4: dc in first st, fpdc in the next, *dc, fpdc*, repeat ** around, join, ch 2. (60 sts)

Rounds 5-14: repeat round 4, ch only 1 at end of round 14.

Round 15-17: hdc in third loop of each st around, join, ch 1.





Round 18: sc in the third loop of each hdc from the prev round, join, do not ch.

Round 19: sl st loosely in each st around, join, fo.

And that should do it to convert the Gina Bun Hat into the Gina Beanie! Let me know what you think of this conversion, and if it works out for you!

Luxury Spa Wrap

Hey There! I'm really excited about this new design- and I know you're going to love it. It works up super quick, and is so lux!

I came up with this design to solve a very real problem that I was having... bangs. Well, my bangs aren't really a problem until I go to wash my face. Recently, I got my hair cut and the stylist trimmed my wispy side-swept bangs a bit shorter than usual.  After about a week of wet hair before bed, the light bulb finally went off. I needed to make myself a head wrap. But I didn't want it to be made of just any yarn. I wanted it to be luxurious!

This wrap is supposed to envelop your crown, gently and softly holding back your hair while you wash your face at night or do your makeup in the morning. Where could I find the perfect yarn to make my perfect head wrap?

Bernat Blanket yarn of course! It's just the right choice to make ourselves a little treat.

I'd been eyeing Bernat Blanket Yarn in the store every time I went yarn shopping, but couldn't justify the purchase until I came up with a purpose. I would pick it up, feel it, ponder it's uses, and put it back on the shelf- every time! After coming up with this design idea, I knew blanket yarn would be perfect for a bath or spa use. 

Are you ready? Here's what we need for this project: 

-1 skein Bernat Blanket Yarn 

-2 one inch buttons

-yarn needle

-size L/8mm hook

Chrissy's Cabled Fingerless Gloves

These fingerless gloves with cute "cable knit" design will make a comfy addition to your fall accessories collection.

These are my first gloves! They have been a labor of love and my most challenging design and pattern written to date! But don't fear, the hard work has all been done for you. And draft after draft, version after version, the pattern is finally, *hopefully* flawless. They are a breeze to construct and for gloves, they work up surprisingly quickly. 

Half Double Crochet Construction

Other mittens and gloves I've made are usually in single crochet, and my goodness- they take forever to make! These are different- I think working in half double makes all the difference. Not only is it a thicker and taller stitch, thus reducing the number of rows needed; it is a much more attractive stitch in my opinion.

These were worked using Red Heart With Love in Tan. I just love this yarn it is so soft and thick and very nice looking. It gives your projects a more polished look. It really is one of my go-to yarns.

Cuff and Loop Closure

These gloves were created after a special request by a friend of mine for some easy on, comfy and not-too-tight fingerless gloves for fall and into winter. As I began searching around I found lots of basic looking gloves and mittens, and I just was not feeling any of them. I wanted to make her something special and new. It turns out, she has helped me as much as I have helped her- by giving me this idea! An idea which has blossomed into a gorgeous original design that I'm so excited to share with you!

Cabled Design

Cable knit designs are some of my favorite, and in crochet, we can't "cable knit" but we can still stitch in "cabled" designs. I can't take credit for coming up with the loop weaving cabling idea. It came from a book filled with different patterns and techniques (and full credit is given on the written pattern). I adapted this technique for use on my gloves and it came out stunningly! 

I hope you enjoy making your own gloves just in time for fall, and I know they will look beautiful in any variety of colors and yarns! I would love to see a picture of your gloves, be sure to post and share on my Facebook page. The pattern will also be available on Ravelry so be sure to add it to your queue! Also don't be shy- if you have any questions or comments or corrections for this pattern leave me a comment and we'll work together to make it right!

Enjoy! and Happy hooking!
