A 2019 Project. Hats for the Homeless.

A friend from work and I decided we wanted to do something with some of the yarn we have and have fallen "out of love" with.  We decided to use some of our lunch breaks and crochet hats for the homeless and donate them in the Fall to an organization who could distribute them and help keep people warm in our cold Minnesota winters.  Here is how we decided to make them.

I really didn't have a pattern. I just chained 43 with worsted weight 4 ply yarn and an I hook and then just did half double crochets in the back loop only, chaining 2 at each row turn, until it measured 19 inches..tied off leaving a long tail. slipped stitched it into a tube and then used that tail to close up the top, attached a pom pom there and turned up the edge..let me know if you have any questions!  

Here are pictures of my first three hats..hoping this will increase to lots more pictures by this Fall!  She has also made three!  She actually had an afghan that she started some years back and was not liking it, so took it all apart and is using the yarn for her first hats.  They are cute and in fact her boss begged her for one and she gave it to her since her hat was getting frayed and she wanted another one.

Another hat (5/1/19), different pattern.
