Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

1. Begin by making 30 foundation chain loops.
   • For the lapel (adjustable depth): Use 26 ch.
   • For the main hat body pattern: Use 4 additional ch.
2. Total Foundation Chain Loops: 30 ch (26 ch + 4 ch).

Step 2: First Row

1. Add 1 turning chain at the end of the foundation chain.
2. Work the following stitches:
   • 26 sc for the lapel (mark the last stitch with a marker).
   • 6 hdc: Yarn over, insert hook into the next loop, and pull all three loops together. Repeat 6 times.
   • 6 sl st: Insert hook, pull up a loop, and pull through the loop already on the hook. Repeat 6 times.
3. Turn the work once the row is complete.

Step 3: Second Row

1. Start with 1 turning chain.
2. Work all stitches in the back loop only of the previous row to form a ribbing effect.
3. Repeat the sequence:
   • 6 sl st in the back loop.
   • 6 hdc in the back loop.
4. Continue until the marker, and then work 26 sc to complete the row.

Step 4: Repeat the Pattern

1. Alternate Row 1 and Row 2 to create the honeycomb effect.
2. Continue working in this sequence for 72 rows (or until you have 18 full honeycomb clusters).
3. Ensure to complete your last row like Row 4 to match the pattern alignment for joining.

Step 5: Joining the Hat

1. Turn the Hat Inside Out: To ensure the seam is on the wrong side.
2. Use a plastic needle to sew the edges together along the back of the hat.
   • Align the honeycomb ridges and valleys for a seamless finish.
   • Use whip stitches or insert the needle through the back loops of the outermost stitches.
3. Sew halfway up and turn the hat right side out.
   • Try the hat on with the lapel turned to ensure a proper fit.
4. Finish sewing to the crown.

Step 6: Assembling the Crown

1. Gather the Crown:
   • Use the remaining yarn end (approximately 30 cm) and a plastic needle.
   • Thread through the last row of stitches around the crown. Ensure uniform tension while pulling.
2. Secure the Gather:
   • Pull the yarn taut to cinch the crown closed tightly.
   • Secure with a few additional stitches in a crisscross pattern to reinforce.

Finishing the Hat

1. Trim any excess yarn and weave in all loose ends neatly on the wrong side of the hat.
2. Turn the hat to its proper side and fold the ribbed edge to create a lapel.

Final Notes and Suggestions

1. Adjusting Size: To create a smaller or larger hat, adjust the foundation chain length and number of rows worked while keeping the proportions consistent.
2. Yarn Substitution: Use any medium weight yarn with a similar fiber composition for a similar result. Test a small swatch to ensure the correct gauge.
3. Washing and Care: Wash the hat in lukewarm water using a gentle wool wash, and lay flat to dry to maintain its shape.

Final Words

Congratulations on completing the honeycomb pattern hat. With its unique texture and warm lapel, this hat is perfect for cold weather and makes a wonderful gift. Don't forget to pair it with the matching snood and mittens to complete the set.
