After making the Ophrys Chunky Hat I got my hands on one of the skeins of Falkgarn Karamell that I had lying around. I started the Ophrys Cowl first, saving enough of the skein that I could make a matching hat - because my love for this stitch knows no bounds. It makes such a wonderful textured fabric! The Glover stitch works up gorgeous both in the round and in rows, though the texture is completely different depending on how you work it. The Beanie was a little tricker for me to work up than before, because the yarn is a little thicker than worsted, but not quite chunky either. Supplies:
Abbreviations (US terminology): CH - chain SC - single crochet ST - stitch SL - slip stitch Glover - glover stitch (please watch the video at Meladora's Creations on this stitch) GL2TOG - Glover two together: start a glover stitch as usual by going into the front loop of the first stitch but instead of yarning over and going into the two loops next to it skip that ch 1 space and start another glover st in the next st over (3 loops on hook), finish as a usual glover stitch by yarning over (4 loops) and pulling up another loop (5 loops), and then yarning over and pulling through all loops on your hook - ch 1 as per usual to close the stitch (see pictures below) Pattern: Brim: With 5mm/H hook Row 1 Ch 7, hdc in second chain from hook, and in next 5 ch (6 st) Row 2 Ch 1, hdc in both loops of first st, hdc in back loop of next 4, hdc in both loops of last st (6 st) Row 3-40 Repeat row 2 Slip stitch the ends together, turn it right side out, and ch 1 - do not cut yarn! Hat: Row 1 Sc 64 evenly across the brim, (64 st) sl to join. Switch to 6mm/J hook Row 2 Ch 1, glover in same st as starting ch, and all around, sl to top of first glover st to join Row 3 Ch 1, glover st in same st and the ch 1 space from previous row, glover st all around, sl to top of first glover st to join Row 4-11 Repeat row 3 (for a slouchier version, add rows here) Row 12 Ch 1, glover st in first st and ch 1 space, gl2tog** and then make another regular glover st, +gl2tog, glover stitch in next++ repeat from + to ++ all around, sl st to top of glover st to join Row 13 Ch 1, glover st in same st, and in next st, +gl2tog, glover stitch twice++ repeat from + to ++ all around, sl st to top of glover st to join Row 14 Ch 1, glover st in same st, and in next st, +gl2tog, glover stitch twice++ repeat from + to ++ all around, sl st to top of glover st to join Row 15 Ch 1, gl2tog around, sl st to top of gl2tog to join. Finish Fasten off and cut yarn, then cut a second piece of yarn and thread on a needle. Turn the hat inside out, weave in the tops of stitches, and pull together the hat. Fasten with a couple of stitches to make sure it stays together. Fasten off and weave in ends. If you want to make a pom, here's a wonderful tutorial by Whistle&Ivy on both how to make it, and fasten it. So, that's it, you're done! Please let me know if anything doesn't add up. I will translate and post the SWE version of this pattern in due time, meanwhile, follow me on instagram and pinterest for more crocheting goofiness. Pretty please tag me if you make it - I'd love to see your wonderful creations! Happy crocheting, Jenn
