Step by Step Instructions
Foundation
- Make a Slip Knot and chain 4 (Ch4).
- Form a Ring:
- Slip stitch (Sl St) into the first chain to join, forming a ring.
Crown Increases
Round 1: (Foundation Circle)
- Ch 3 (counts as your first Dc), then work 11 Dc into the center of the ring.
- Join with a Sl St into the top of the Ch 3. (12 Dc in total for this round)
Round 2: (First Increase Round)
- Ch 3 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 2 Dc into each stitch around.
- Join with a Sl St into the top of the first stitch. (24 stitches)
Round 3: (Second Increase Round)
- Ch 3.
- Work 1 Dc in the first stitch, 2 Dc in the next stitch.
- Repeat 1, 2 around the circle.
- Join with a Sl St into the top of the first stitch. (36 stitches)
Round 4: (Third Increase Round)
- Ch 3.
- Work 1 Dc in each of the first two stitches, 2 Dc in the next stitch.
- Repeat 1, 1, 2 around the circle.
- Join with a Sl St into the top of the first stitch. (48 stitches)
Round 5 (Optional Further Increases)
- If needed for larger sizes, continue increasing by adding another 1 before the 2. For instance, 1, 1, 1, 2.
Note: Stop increasing once the circle reaches the crown size of the person's head measurement.
Body of the Hat
To form the body of the turban hat, you will alternate single crochet and double crochet rounds, working evenly in the same number of stitches.
- Begin Sc Round (Round 6):
- Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 1 Sc in each stitch around.
- Sl St to the first Sc to join.
- Place a stitch marker in the first stitch to mark your round.
- Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).
- Dc Round (Round 7):
- Ch 3 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 1 Dc in each stitch around.
- Turn your work after completing the round to add texture.
- Sl St into the first Dc to join.
- Repeating Rounds:
- Alternate between Single Crochet rounds and Double Crochet rounds, turning your work after each Dc round and maintaining the stitch count.
- Measure Depth:
- Continue until the hat depth reaches approximately 9-10 inches (23-25 cm) or your desired length, ensuring there is enough length for the turban fold at the front.
Creating the Turban Twist
- Work the Final Round (BLO):
- To prepare for the twist, work one final round of Sc in the Back Loop Only (BLO). This adds flexibility to the edge and makes the twist easier to form.
- Fasten Off:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (16-18 inches) for sewing.
Assembling the Turban Hat
- Folding:
- Flatten the hat to identify the front center.
- Pinch the bottom edge of the hat at the front and overlap the edges slightly to mimic a twist. Adjust the overlap to create the signature turban look.
- Flatten the hat to identify the front center.
- Sewing the Twist:
- Thread your darning needle with the long yarn tail.
- Secure the overlap by stitching through both edges. Pull the stitches tight to create the twist effect, and knot securely.
- Weave in Ends:
- Use the darning needle to weave any excess yarn tail into the hat for a clean finish.
Final Tips
- Tension Consistency:
- Pay attention to your tension throughout the pattern. Consistent tension ensures a neat and professional finish.
- Customization:
- Change the number of initial Dc in Round 1 to adjust the size (e.g., 10 Dc for a smaller size, 14 Dc for a larger size).
- Add pom poms or decorative appliques for additional flair.
- Maintenance:
- Hand wash or use the delicate cycle if using washable yarn.
- Lay flat to dry and reshape, especially around the twist, to maintain the turban look.
