a little DIY that i love.

hiya guys, it's me, apple! my mommy let me share a special post about a DIY from holly sarah of createloves. it's the cutest little DIY, and i hope you enjoy making one as much as i watched mommy make mine! here it is...



it's a slouch hat. i just love it! now here's how to make it...it's REALLY easy if you are good a crochet!


Using a fine/dk weight yarn and a 3.5mm hook.
To start, chain 4, and slip stitch into first chain to create a loop.
Row 1: Ch 2. DC (double crochet) 14 into center of loop. Join with a slip stitch in 3rd ch. Ch 2.
Row 2: 1 DC in same stitch as Ch 2. 2 DC in each DC around. Join by slip stitch into 3rd ch. (28 stitches) Ch. 2.
Row 3: 1 DC in same stitch as Ch 2. *1 DC in next DC, 2 DC in next DC* repeat from * until end of round, join with a slip stitch in 3rd ch. (41 stitches)
Row 4: repeat row 3 (60 stitches)
Row 5: repeat row 3
Rows 6, 7, & 8: 1 DC in each DC until end of row, ch 2.
Row 9: Double crochet decrease all around the row. Join with slip stitch. Ch 1.
**Double crochet decrease: Work a double crochet in the specified stitch until two loops remain on the hook. Keeping these two loops on hook, work another double crochet in the next stitch until three loops remain on hook; hook yarn and draw through all three loops on the hook.
Rows 10 & 11: 1 DC in each stitch around, sl st, ch 2.
Row 12: 1 DC in each DC around, sl st, ch 1.
Row 13: 1 SC in each DC around, sl st. Finish off.
