Last week I shared a crocheted cowl that I made for the Scarf of the Month Crochet Along with  Oombawka Design and The Stitchin Mommy. I mentioned that I would also be the guest designer for their Hat of the Month Crochet Along, and today is the day for that!

I wanted to make my hat and scarf a set so my hat pattern is the Harmony Hat to go along with the Harmony Cowl that I shared last week, and it uses the same stitch pattern as the cowl. In addition to my hat pattern, be sure to also check out the other designs for this month, the Summer Slouch Hat, and the Chelsea Beanie. 

Get the PDF pattern for each scarf for free on Ravelry for the next 24 hours (through the end of the day 5/30/23). For this one just add it to your cart and the discounted price (free) will show up in your cart through the end of the promotion! After tomorrow it will still be available for purchase at regular price. 

For the Harmony Hat I once again used Lion Brand Mandala Ombre. I used the color way Harmony again for the adult size hat, so that it would match the scarf. But I also made this pattern in baby, toddler, and child sizes, using a different color way for each size. None of the hats require a full cake, you should be able to get at least 2 hats from a cake depending on the size you make. I just like to have the variety in colors for taking pictures. 

Just like the cowl, the hat uses a combination of puff stitches and crossed double crochet stitches. The bottom of the hat has a post stitch ribbing around the edge.

How to Crochet the Harmony Hat

Finished Size: Adult, Child, Toddler, 6-12 Months, 3-6 Months

You will need:

• 1 cake Lion Brand Mandala Ombre (sample made in Harmony)
• I crochet hook (5.5 mm)
• yarn needle
• scissors

Instructions:

*Note: When making the puff stitches you will be working in between the crossed double crochet stitches, not in the actual stitches like you normally do. Each pair of crossed doubles makes an x shape and you will be working in the space at the top of the x just above where the stitches cross.
