Scallop Hat
This Scallop Hat is quick and easy to make and as you can see you can embellish it with the crocheted flowers you made with the Crochet Easy Crochet Flowers I showed you. I took this pattern from beginner-crochet-patterns. The free crochet pattern includes all sizes from preemie and newborn to adult size.
It is best to use the recommended yarn as this ensures a perfect fit, but you could use another type of yarn providing that it is the same thickness.
Scallop Hat
Recommended yarn: medium worsted weight (weight category #4). I used Red Heart Super Saver.
Recommended crochet hook: J 10 (6.00 mm) or suitable size to obtain the gauge.
The gauge: 13 SC in 4'' (10 cm); 14 rows in 4'' (10 cm).
The stitches and abbreviations used in this Free Crochet Beanie Pattern: CH - chain, SC - single crochet, DC - double crochet, slip stitch.
SC 2 (the # of stitches is AFTER the stitch's abbreviation) means: make two single crochet stitches in two stitches of the previous row.
2SC (the # of stitches is BEFORE the stitch's abbreviation) means: make two single crochet stitches in one stitch (increase).

THE ROUND TOP OF THE CROCHET HAT.
Every crochet hat starts from the top (every knit hat starts from the bottom). It's a flat circle. Do not make a slip stitch at the end of each row and do not make a CH stitch at the beginning of each row, work in spirals instead - you will have no seam. Attach the stitch marker to the end of the first or the second row to indicate it and move the stitch marker up as the work progresses.
CH 3. (make a chain of 3 stitches).
Join the chain in a ring with a slip
stitch.
Row #1: SC 6 in the ring (make 6 single crochet stitches in a ring). Total is 6 stitches after completing of this row.
Do not make a slip stitch at the end of the row and do not make at CH stitch at the beginning of the row - work in spirals instead.
Row #2: 2 SC in each stitch. Total = 12 stitches.
Row #3: [SC, 2 SC], repeat [ ] 6 times around the row. This means: make a SC (in the first stitch of the row), then make 2SC in the next following stitch (the second stitch of the row), then make another SC in the next following stitch (the third stitch of the row), 2SC in the fourth stitch of the row and so on for 4 more times. The total = 18 stitches after the completing of this row.

THE SIDES OF THE CROCHET HAT.
This is where you don't increase the stitches in the row. You make stitch in the stitch of the previous row for the needed number of the rows and the total number of the stitches in unchanged from the row to the row until you reach the needed haight of the hat at the forehead.
Row #13: SC in each SC all around the row.
Preemie size: Make 8 or 9 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
Newborn - 3 months size: Make 10 or 11 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
3-9 months size: Make 12 or 13 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
9-18 months size: Make 13 or 14 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
2-5 years size: Make 14 or 15 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
Child to Teenager size: Make 15-16 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
Adult size:Make 16 or 17 more rows as Row #13, slip stitch at the end of the last row.
The result: the hat is almost ready (beanie). Try it on if possible to ensure the proper fit. Now you need to add the scallops. :)
HOW TO CROCHET SCALLOPS.
Step 1: Make a DC in the second stitch from the hook (skip one stitch).
Step 2: Make another DC in the same stitch.
Step 3: Make another DC in the same stitch.
Step 4: Make one more DC in the same stitch (the total is 4 DC stitches in one stitch of the hat)
Step 5: Make a slip stitch in the second stitch from the stitch where you've made 4 DC stitches.
Repeat Steps 1-5 for the second scallop.
Two scallops are ready.
Make the scallops all around the edge of the hat.
The Scallop Hat is ready! :)
