This hat began as a doodle during my travels up to Vermont to see my folks. I was playing with my favorite old doily pattern - The Plate Doily, from 1917. As the doodle grew, it was feeling really nice in my hands; a good floppy drape, but sturdy.
It grew throughout the weekend. At a concert a friend asked what I was making. I said I don't know, probably a hat! I decided to put a brim on it when I got home, and Voila! a sun hat!

E - 3.5mm hook
less that 200 yards fingering weight cotton thread (I used Numei cotton breeze, color: shell)
yarn needle

hat measures 7 inches, 18 cm wide at top, 3 inches,7.5 cm high for the side, and the brim is 2 inches, 5 cm wide. My head is 22 inches, 56 cm around and it fits me well, a little on the snug side so it stays on in the wind, but does not leave it's mark on my forehead when I take it off!!

6 sc per inch, 6 sc per 2.5 cm

The reason I love The Plate Doily Pattern is that you really get into a rhythm once you get to know it. It progresses with a very simple logic that is easy to follow.

The pattern is worked in two parts.

Part one - increase one sc between each ch3 loop for each round
Part two - decrease one sc between loops and increase 1 ch3 loop per round

The pattern is worked in the round with no joining or turning.

Now you know the basic logic behind the pattern and you are free to play with it as you like!

Okay! My work is done.

Ha! Ha! Just kidding!

Below is a full round by round write up of my sun hat!

worked in the round with no joining or turning
mark the first stitch of each round to keep track of rounds

Top of hat

note -
You can adjust the width of the hat by adding or subtracting rounds before round 11.
Continue the pattern of increase if you add rounds.

1. 8 sc in magic ring, or work 8 sc in a loop made of ch3 joined with a slip stitch if you must!
2. 2sc in each sc around
3. (sc, sk 1 sc, ch1) repeat around
4. (2sc in next sc, skip ch1 loop, ch2) repeat around
5. (sc in next 3 sc, ch2) repeat around
6. (sc in next 4 sc, ch2) repeat around
7. (sc in next 5 sc, ch3*) repeat around *note loops are ch3
8. (sc in next 6 sc, ch3) repeat around
9. (sc in next 7 sc, ch3) repeat around
10. (sc in next 8 sc, ch3) repeat around
11. repeat round 10
12. (sc in next 7 sc, ch3, sc in next ch3 loop) repeat around
13. (sc in next 6 sc, (ch3, sc in next ch3 loop)2x ) repeat around
14. (sc in next 5 sc, (ch3, sc in next ch3 loop)3x ) repeat around
15. (sc in next 4 sc, (ch3, sc in next ch3 loop)4x ) repeat around
16. (sc in next 3 sc, (ch3, sc in next ch3 loop)5x ) repeat around
17. (sc in next 2 sc, (ch3, sc in next ch3 loop)6x ) repeat around
18. (sc in next 1 sc, (ch3, sc in next ch3 loop)7x ) repeat around
19. (sc in next ch3 loop, ch3) repeat around
20. (sc in next ch3 loop, ch2*) repeat around *note loops are ch2
21. (sc in next ch2 loop, ch1*) repeat around *note loops are ch1

Side of hat

note -
You can adjust the height of the hat by adding or subtracting rounds in this part.

22-25. ((sc in next ch1 loop, ch1)x7), ch3 repeat around
26-30 ((sc in next ch1 loop, ch1)x5), (ch3, skip 1 ch1 loop, sc in next ch1 loop)x2) repeat around

Brim of hat

note -
If you prefer a less ruffly brim, make fewer stitches in round 32
ie (2sc in next sc, sc in next 2 or 3 sc) instead

31. sc in each sc and ch1 loop around
32. (2sc in next sc, sc in next sc) repeat around
33. sc around
34. (2sc in next sc, sc in next 5sc) repeat around
35. sc around
36. (sc in next sc, skip next 2 sc, ch3) repeat around
37. repeat round 35

I hope the directions are clear and that you have fun with this pattern!

I designed this little newborn hat in a few days as one of the hats I’ll be donating to the current Save the Children appeal. The pattern that was provided by Woman’s Weekly gave me real trouble so I thought it would be a nice idea if I tried my hand at designing a couple of easier hats for people to make.

Details about the Knit one Save on campaign can be found here: www.savethechildren.org.uk/en/5072.htm

After struggling with a badly written crochet pattern published in Woman's Weekly for the recent Save the Children appeal I decided to come up with my own newborn baby hat pattern.

This pattern is based on the granny square and works from the top down so doesn't need any joining together at the end.

Hopefully my instructions make sense as this has not been pattern tested yet. Feel free to send me a message if you need any help making this item up

Jayne Cobb was a character in the tragically canceled 2002 television show Firefly, and in that show he received a hat that looked like this. Except it was knitted. But I crocheted this version on account of my harebrained idea that if we generate enough buzz in the online crafts world, it will spill into the mainstream world and Joss Whedon, creator of Firefly and many other great things—including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog—will grant us an interview. Here's the whole story.

Add it to your Ravelry queue!

So, grab a huge hook and some chunky yarn and whip one up, 'k? And then post a photo in a comment on the blog post linked above, and help us get this thing done.

Oh, and tell everyone you know. And if you're so inclined, design your own Whedoncraft!

ETA (30 July 08): The Austin Browncoats are collecting knitted and crocheted Jayne Hats to sell for charity at Dragon*Con. Drop them a line by 20th August if you want to whip one up for them, and gain very good crochet karma in the process.

• Yarn: Garnstudio Eskimo (100% wool; 50 m/50 g): 1 skein each in yellow, orange, and red
• Hook: 9mm
• Notions: Yarn needle, pompom-making stuff (I love using the Clover pompom maker)

One size fits most.

About 8 sts and 8 rows = 4" in hdc.

I whipped this hat up in an evening. That means two things: First, you, too, can have your own Jayne Hat in an evening. Second, it's not perfect. That's what you get for my impatience to get this interview-thing going. So I've made a couple of notes in the pattern to let you know how it's done in the version pictured and how you might want to change it when you make your own.

Hat

Rnd 1: With yellow, beg with an adjustable ring, ch 2 (does not count as st here and throughout), 8 hdc in ring, sl st in first hdc to join, pull tail to tighten ring—8 sts.

Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 hdc in each st around, sl st in first hdc to join—16 sts.

Rnd 3: Ch 2, *hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st; rep from * around, sl st in first hdc to join—24 sts.

Rnd 4: Ch 2, *hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st; rep from * around, sl st in first hdc to join—32 sts.

Rnd 5: Ch 2, *hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st; rep from * around, sl st in first hdc to join—40 sts.

(Note: For smaller heads, eliminate the increases in the next rnd (to remain at 40 stitches, total) and just hdc around. I have a small head, and I could do without the extra four stitches. ETA: For larger heads, work 8 increases in the next rnd instead of 4, for a total of 48 stitches.)

Rnd 6: Ch 2, *hdc in next 9 sts, 2 hdc in next st; rep from * around, sl st in first hdc to join—44 sts.

Rnds 7-8: Ch 2, hdc around, change to orange at end of Rnd 8. (Note: I recommend working one more rnd in yellow before moving on.)

Rnds 9-12: With orange, ch 2, hdc around.

Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Earflaps

(Note: I crocheted each earflap as a separate piece. You could, alternatively, join yarn directly to the hat, work 8 sc on the hat, turn, and continue with Row 2 below. I used the same hook as for the hat, but for less floppy flaps you might want to use a slightly smaller hook.)

With red, ch 9.

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch around, turn—8 sts.

Rows 2-9: Ch 1, sc across.

Row 10: Ch 1, sc2tog 4 times—4 sts.

Rows 11-12: Ch 1, sc across.

Row 13: Ch 1, sc2tog 2 times—2 sts.

Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Finishing

With one strand each of the three colours held tog, make a pompom. Sew to top of hat.

With yarn needle and red, whipstitch each earflap to last rnd of hat; earflaps should be placed slightly toward the back of the hat. With red and hook, sl st around each earflap (this adds structure and cleans up the edges). Weave in loose ends.

Here I am all goofy in my Jayne hat.

This pattern came to me because of a photo I saw of my cousin wearing a similar hat. I thought I could design something like it quite easily, so I picked up an old pattern for a beret I had and altered it to fit the description I wanted. I then selected some recycled yarn from my stash and started to crochet. I worked it up in about two days because I was so anxious to see the final product. So far, it’s gotten great reviews!

Worsted weight yarn approximately 250 - 300 yds.
US #H hook; 5.00mm
Crochet stitch marker or small safety pin

Will vary depending on artisan’s preferences
(Demo finished size is width = 11 inches; opening = 6 inches; brim = 2 inches)

16 sc and 10 rows = 4"

Ch. 4 join in ring with sl st

Row 1: 6 sc in center of ring
Row 2: 2 sc in each st. (12 sc) place marker at the end of round to mark off beginning
Row 3: * 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, repeat from * around row (18 sc)
Row 4: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 2 st, repeat from * around
Row 5: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 st, repeat from * around
Row 6: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 st, repeat from * around, move marker up
Continue in this pattern until there are 22 st between 2 sc (or the diameter measures 10 inches). Work even for 4 rows. Begin decreasing by skipping every 12th st. to 6inches (or desired head size). Work 6 rows even.

next row: repeat previous row until 18 st remain, ch 1
next row: skip first 2 st, sc across, ch 1 turn (16 st)
next row: skip first 2 st, sc across, turn (14 st)
