Payton Hat Crochet Pattern for American Girl or 18 inch Doll

Here is my Payton Hat pattern for 18 inch dolls! I did this one slightly longer than a normal hat to give it more of a slouchy feel. If you are wanting it even more slouchy you could always go up a hook size then back to the suggested size on the last four rounds. I used a large pom pom maker because the only others I had on hand were small and extra small.

Materials:

Worsted Weight Yarn

H/ 5mm Hook

Pom- Pom Maker

Yarn Needle

I love this Yarn: Hobby Lobby

Stitch Abbreviations:

Sc- single crochet

Hdc - half double crochet

Dc- double crochet

sl st - slip stitch

Ch – chain

Notes:

       - The chain does not count as a stitch.

-     - Always join to the first stitch of each round.

-     - Always start your round in the same stitch as your chain.

-     - Here is a link to explain my working in the round method.

-     - If you feel the hat is coming out small or large, adjust your hook.

-     - Feel free to add or subtract rounds to your preference. Adding more rounds will also
        create a slouch style hat.

-     - The rounds are increased differently than a normal hat in order to create a puckered type
         look on the top.

-     - For the pom-pom I used the Blue Clover brand pom-pom maker from the large set.

Size: 18 inch doll

Start with a Magic Ring, Ch. 1,
