Berlin Hat

**Get 50% off your purchase of the Berlin Cowl Pattern if you purchase or have purchased the Berlin Hat pattern** This hat is named after the beautiful but gritty city Berlin, which we used to visit every summer as children. The Berlin Hat pattern works best in a tonal-dyed yarn, such as Mineville Wool Project DK, Sweet Paprika Designs Minuet, or Blue Brick Escarpment DK. The pattern photo on the front page uses one skein of Blue Brick Escarpment DK in Aster. The Berlin Hat pattern is multi-sized, so there are directions to fit toddlers, children, and adults. The adult pattern has options for either a slouchy fit or a closer beanie/toque fit. The Berlin Hat is crocheted sideways and then seamed. All stitches are worked in back loop only (BLO). **Level of Difficulty:** Intermediate **Sizing:** toddler, child, adult beanie, adult slouchy. You can increase or decrease the size of the hat by adding or subtracting row repeats. **Yarn:** 150 - 275 m of DK weight wool; 1 skein of Sweet Paprika Designs Minuet, Mineville Wool Project Merino DK Singles, OR The Blue Brick Escarpment DK. **Hooks:** 4.0 mm, or size required to get gauge **Notions:** Tapestry needle Stitch markers **Gauge:** 20 sts and 22 rows in stitch pattern = 4” / 10cm **Stitches Used:** Ch: chain Dc: double crochet Hdc: half double crochet Sc: single crochet Sl st: slip stitch **Tip:** Use stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch of each row, and move them up as you complete more rows. This ensures that you work in the correct row and do not miss a stitch.
