For This Baby Viking Hat, you will need a few supplies,

need to know a few abbreviations.

Supplies:

Yarn: Four to Five colors of worsted/Standard 4 weight

I used:

Hat:

¹ Caron: Medium Gray Mix- 40½ yards

² Red Heart: Cream- 8 yards

³ Big Twist: Gold- 42 yards

Crochet Hook:

G (4.00 mm) hook

Other Supplies:

Scissors, Tapestry needle, Stitch markers, Measure tape, poly-fil (stuffing)

Optional Supplies:

Cardstock or foamboard, spray starch (garment stiffener)

Abbreviations, stitches, & helpful Information

Notes:

-It can be beneficial to look through entire pattern before starting.

-The pattern is written in standard US terminology and written working right-handed

-pull joining slst tight so they do not look like a stitch

-1st ch 1 or ch 2 at the start of a Row/Rnd do not count as a stitch

-when chaining we will be working in the bb, so be sure to not make the starting ch “too tight”

-for CC pull the last loop with the new color and be sure to capture the non-working yarn, there is a link to a short video on CC in the abbreviations that could be helpful

-In the abbreviations section I explain that a number before the st is that many of that st in the previous Row/Rnd st, so 2sc would be the same as a sc increase, if you are used to seeing increase or inc. instead of 2st (2sc, 2hdc, 2dc, etc.) then it could be helpful to highlight or note those in the pattern before you start working.

-there are notes in italics throughout the pattern to help with stitch placement, as some do not have common notations, such as doing two separate colors as an inc.
