Introducing the Crocheted Gappy Hat available on Ravelry or Craftsy! This hat makes a fabulous gift and is a wonderful for charity crocheting, also. I've made several for new babies at my church and the color possibilities are endless!

Notes:
• The body of this hat is made using Hdc’s on each row, but you can mix it up especially when doing the striped hat show above. I incorporated a couple Single Crochet rows to give a little variance in the stripes.
• I used the Clover Pom Pom Maker, but if you don’t have one, you can consult this tutorial: http://www.danamadeit.com/2010/12/pom-poms-a-very-simple-tutorial.html
• This hat can be made solid or striped. The hats shown are made with variegated and/or self-patterning yarn. Use your imagination and have fun!

Ribbed Band Section:
Ch 8
Row 1 - Hdc in 3rd Ch from hook, Hdc 5, ch2, turn (6 Hdc’s) Row 2 - Hdc in BL only to the end of row, ch 2, turn (6 Hdc’s) Row 3-29 - Repeat Row 2 Row 30 - Hdc in BL, ch1 (don’t turn) Join band - Fold piece together WS facing and SS to join. Now you will work your hook into the BL of each stitch and your foundation chain. (See Figure 1) This join will give you an almost seamless join. (See Figure 2)
Main Body of Hat:
* You will now be working around the top edge of your ribbed band.
Row 1 - Ch1, sc around the entire hat adding 3 stitches per ribbed section (see Figure 3), Join, (45 stitches)
Row 2 - Ch2, Hdc in FL of first stitch (where you joined), Hdc in FL of each stitch, Join
Row 3 - Ch 2, Hdc (in both loops) in first stitch (where you joined), Hdc (in both loops) in each stitch, Join
Repeat Row 3 until entire hat measures approximately 4” tall.
Seam Closed:
Line up the edges at the top of your hat, Ch1, insert hook into the inside loops and SS across to seam closed (see Figure 4).
Finishing:
Weave Ends and add pom poms or tassles. I love the clover pom pom maker for this hat, but you can also make your own template - more tips in the full PDF version on Craftsy and Ravelry.
