Cabled Headband Hat w/big Button -free crochet pattern-
Here it is, my version of the crochet cabled headband slouchy hat with a great big button! I've been making this hat for over two years now, and it's still my top seller at local craft fairs, markets, and custom orders. I've honestly been making it free form and from memory, but recently decided to actually write it down so that I can share it with you. It's a very cute hat, and only requires knowledge of the basic stitches, plus the crab stitch (otherwise known as rsc - reverse single crochet) and working over post stitches. The highlight of this hat, really, is the giant button. You can find them in all sorts of places, but I buy mine online from a Canadian (because I'm in Canada and shipping is faster to me) yarn company called knitca.com

acting silly with my mannequin head form :D |
Thank you for the lovely hat pattern. Very much appreciated!
ReplyDeletethis pattern is very nice thanks for providing it for free love the pictures with it i am still a beginner and with the pictures it made it very easy to understand the written pattern, thanks again i can see myself making many of these as gifts
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This hat is gorgeous ! I just finished mine and may not ever take it off!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great pattern! Do you allow others to sell the hats they make from it?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely :) I only hold rights of the pattern itself, you can make and sell as much finished product as you wish!
DeleteAwesome! Thank you so much! This has to be the most gorgeous slouchy hat pattern I've seen!
DeleteI am having trouble on row 3 cable stitch where you dc2together top of post, by chance do you have a YouTube video?
ReplyDeleteI don't have any videos yet, but I will try to clarify...
Delete"dc2tog over next 2 sts" You dc2tog over the next dc (where normally you would just work 1dc), and the 1st post st. But instead of working over the post, you are working into the actual stitch. This stitch gets worked twice; after it becomes part of the 2dctog, you then work back over the post of the same stitch when you are cabling.
When you get to the other side of the cable, you do the same thing, just in reverse, dc2tog over the last worked dc (you already worked over the post in the cable) and the next dc.
All this does, is close up a gap in the finished cable. If you prefer to do it the regular way and don't mind a bit of a gap, you can just do this...
Row 3: (CABLE ST) ch3 (counts as 1dc), turn; fpdc over 1st post st, dc in next 3 sts, skip over first 3 post sts and the 1dc- fpdtr over next 3 post sts, dc back in skipped dc, fpdtr in first 3 skipped posts, dc in next 23 sts, fpdc over next post st, dc in last st.
Hope that helps you out!
last line--- "dc in next 3 sts (not 23!) typo :)
DeleteNice pattern. There are two rows marked Row 2
ReplyDeleteyes, there is :D Thanks for pointing that out, I will fix. :) Thanks!
DeleteI'm having a problem understanding the border. I can't come up with 78 sc's since I can't quite figure row 1 out. Can someone please help????
ReplyDeleteRow 1: Work a sc at each of the edges of last 2 rows;
Delete-The last 3 rows of the headband, were worked in sc's instead of dc's, so you're just working a sc along the ends of those rows. Where you end at the headband, it takes care of that last sc row, (there's 3) so just work a sc in each of the next two.
-Then the ends or edges along the headband (where each row began or ended and turned) will either be a dc stitch or a ch3 stitch, you are working into these ch3/dc spaces.
To be honest, it really doesn't matter if you get exactly 78 sts, close to that is fine! It will not impact the design whatsoever, any stitches beyond 70 will be part of the button flap, a stitch or two off will not be noticeable.
I hope that helps!
I am also stuck on this part. I'm still not getting it. We're at the end of the headband and I don't know where to go from there

DeleteIm so lost once it gets to the hat part. I did the rsc how it stated but when you say to have right side facing up and first stitch back loop im at the more squared end of the head band to i connect the to to move forwards?
ReplyDeleteIm with you. Im not understanding how to connect or where to connect to start the hat part. I have it folded over, but not sure if im supposed to be back post single crocheting or if im supposed to just regular single crochet OVER the rscs? Totally lost! lol
DeleteYes, you should be at the square end of the headband. Remember when you worked 70 rsc, in the front loops only, then the rest were in both loops. Right side facing, skip those full rsc stitches, and the 1st hat stitch (and the rest of the rnd) is in the back loops of the 1st border rnd. This will join the headband around. Look at the picture from rnd 1 of the hat. It shows this 1st st being joined.

DeleteYeah Im completely lost beginning the hat part. I ended at more squared off section, then turn to right side is facing and fold over like in the picture..but now dont understand exactl where to join it? Am I going over the rsc stitches? Am i supposed to bpsc in the next 70, like behind the rscs? Totally lost on how to start or connect this part! Thanks!! :-)
ReplyDeleteyou are working (sc) in the remaining back loops from the 1st border rnd. That's why you've only rsc 'd in the front loops of those 70 sts on the 2nd rnd.
DeleteOh my gosh, cant believe I did not get that. Thank you so very much! Totally understand now! :D
Delete:)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIt just means to do a regular rsc through those sts (instead of just the back loops like the last 70)
Deletewhat is the length of your headband? My measurements are coming out completely different. Also 1-54 seems very long.
ReplyDeletehave you checked your gauge? The headband should be long enough to go around your head plus a bit of overlap.
DeleteThe gauge is correct, I adjusted the length to my head measurements and I have a rather big head. The headband width is the same also. I loved the look of the rsc so I continued it all around the band instead of just on top. I also deleted the extra dc in between the posts. It kept becoming tangled when doing the cable. Thank you for the free pattern. Do you have any more that are free?
DeleteThank you for sharing!! Your work is impeccable! I love giving people my crocheted things as each one is crocheted with love in the stitches. Every female in my family daughter granddaughter and my siblings girls my nieces all got messy bun beanies or hooded scarves , hooded cowls , depended on age and looks.. lol I enjoy customizing because no they know it's made just for them ;, like I say~ with love in each stitches. I put a tag in that says''Hand Made by Loving Stitches just for you !
ReplyDeleteI forgot to put in, they got them for Christmas lol

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this lovely pattern. I'd never made anything more complicated than a coaster, but this came out great for me! Such a beautiful hat; I'm going to make more as Christmas presents!
ReplyDeleteHi! This pattern is written in American terms :) Thank you for the kind words!
ReplyDeleteCUTE hat! Easy to read instructions! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI am completly lost trying to do the cabel stitch. I am stuck on row 5. Please help
ReplyDeleteWhen i try to cross them again, it does not cross.

ReplyDeleteAfter completing round 4, the cable part on the next 4 rounds is not coming out crisscrossed. It’s making like a long parenthesis ( ) type design, what am I doing wrong?
ReplyDelete*Update* I “really” figured it out this time....when I was doing round 4, after the first fpdtr, I did the DC behind, but I was also doing the fpdtr in the back from the skipped 3, lol. Now that I fixed that and crocheted the fpdtr in the front of the skipped 3 stitches, it now is forming the crisscross!! Persistence...haha
ReplyDeleteFarrah....could you possibly help out in directing me how to do this in a child’s size, like for a 6 yr old? Thanks
ReplyDeleteOkay, i’m gonna try one more time...does anyone know how to get the pattern designers attention? I’m not getting any type of response. I really would like some guidance on how to do this pattern for a child’s size...age 6. The pattern designer has seem to stop responding? I have no idea of any other way to contact other than in here?? Please help. I got a request for child’s size and I do not know how to change pattern. TIA
ReplyDeleteGreat Pattern!!!! Thank you... this hat is absolutely lovely and fun to make!!☺️
ReplyDeleteIt says to use 2 hooks.. do I use G for the headband part and I for the hat?
ReplyDeleteNevermind, use G throughout and I at the borders.
