MEN’S HAT & SCARF SET

Here’s a pattern for a men’s hat and scarf set using crochet:

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn (color of your choice)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn
• Stitch markers
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Note: The following pattern assumes you have basic knowledge of crochet stitches such as chain (ch), single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and slip stitch (sl st).

Hat Pattern:

Size: This pattern is written for an average adult men’s size. Adjustments can be made to fit other sizes.

1. Start by making a magic ring or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as first dc), work 9 more dc into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 2. (Total 10 dc)
3. Round 2: Chain 2 (counts as first dc), work 1 dc in the same stitch as the join. Work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 2. (Total 20 dc)
4. Round 3: Chain 2 (counts as first dc), work 1 dc in the same stitch as the join. Work 1 dc in the next stitch, then 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 2. (Total 30 dc)
5. Round 4: Chain 2 (counts as first dc), work 1 dc in the same stitch as the join. Work 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches, then 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 2. (Total 40 dc)
6. Continue working in rounds, without increasing, until the hat reaches the desired length. You can try it on as you go to ensure a good fit.
7. Finish the hat by fastening off and weaving in any loose ends.

Scarf Pattern:

1. Chain the desired length for the scarf. (For example, start with a chain of 180-200 stitches for an average adult men’s scarf.)
2. Row 1: Starting from the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc in each chain across.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), turn your work. Work 1 sc in each stitch across.
4. Repeat Row 2 until the scarf reaches the desired width.
5. Finish the scarf by fastening off and weaving in any loose ends.

Assembly:

You can use the same yarn color for both the hat and scarf to create a matching set. Alternatively, you can choose different colors to add variety.
