My Cowboy Hat Pattern. This took me quite a few days but that was probably because I was making it up as I was going along. You will need one skein of yarn in any color (I used Pound Of Love so I could make as many as I liked) and a H hook. The Top: Chain four. Slip stitch fourth chain from hook and chain three. Double crochet eleven times in the ring you have made. Slip stitch at the top of the chain three stitch. chain three. double crochet in the same stitch and two double crochet in the rest of the stitches. Slip stitch at top of chain three stitch. Chain three. two double crochet in the next stitch and one in the next till you reach the chain three stitch. Slip stitch at the top of it. Chain three. Double crochet in the next stitch and two double crochet in the next stitch.So the pattern is two and two in one and then three and two in one and then four and two in one and so on until you have finished six and two in one. Slip stitch at the top of chain three stitch. The Body: Chain one. Single crochet around and slip stitch in the first single crochet. Do this fifteen times. The Brim: Row One. Chain one. Now you will use the pattern that you used for the top of the hat so you will single crochet seven stitches then two single crochet in the same stitch. Chain one. Row Two. Single crochet around and slip stitch in the first sc. Repeat from * seven times except keep increasing Row One by one every time you do it. Fasten off and weave in the ends. If you want to the band chain ninety and slip stitch in the first chain you made or chain ninety-one and single crochet across chain one and single crochet across and slip stitch it together and weave in the ends.            

Easy blanket pattern

This is a pretty easy blanket to make and it's ever so pretty and warm!!!

 EASY BLANKET PATTERN

You will need: 18 oz of each color it will make a 40 inch by 60 inch blanket and an I hook.

(I used CARON yarn for it's extra softness and an H hook.)  

SPECIAL STITCHES:

THREE STITCH DECREASE: *yo or yarn over insert hook through next stitch, yo and pull loop through stitch, yo and pull through first 2 loops on hook repeat from * twice. Yo and pull through remaining 4 loops on hook.

TWO STITCH DECREASE: *yo, insert hook through next stitch, yo and pull loop through stitch,yo and pull through first 2 loops on hook repeat from * once. Yo and pull through remaining 3 loops on hook.

Chain 178    ROW 1: Dc or double crochet in 3rd chain from hook; dc in the next 6 ch or chain, 3 dc in next ch, dc in next 6 ch; *work 3 dec in next 3 ch, dc in 6 ch, 3 dc in next ch, dc in next 6 ch; Repeat from * across. End by working 2 dec in last 2 ch. Ch 2 and turn.

ROW 2: Skip first dc; dc in next 7 dc, 3 dc in next dc, dc in next 6 dc; *work 3 dec in next 3 stitches,dc in next 6 dc, 3 dc in next dc, dc in next 6 dc; Repeat from * across. End by working 2 dec in last 2 dc. Ch 2 and turn. Repeat ROW 2 until you run out of yarn.

CHANGING COLORS: At end of row, when working 2 dec, drop the current color of yarn when you have the last 3 loops left on your hook to finish the stitch. Yarn over with new color of yarn and pull through the 3 loops on your hook. Ch 2 and turn.

Leave 5 or 6 inch ends of each color of yarn to weave in.

Weave in ends securely. (You may want to tie the ends before you weave them in.)
