Crochet Pattern: Yoyo-Puff Wide Brim Hat For Girl
June 4, 2010 |
Love this post? Give me a thumb's up 
I have done 2 halterneck tops (knitted and crochet) for my daughter and now I challenged myself to design and crochet this yo-yo puff wide brim summer hat. Do you like it? She likes it a lot… basically, she likes all the things I made, lol….
I would say that it is a perfect hat for spring and summer. Look at the cavities between the yo-yo puffs, it makes the hat airy so you head won’t get cooked by the heat captured in the hat during summer. The wide brim is just nice to block away certain degree of sunlight. And, I used the 100% cotton yarns left over from the granny square haltered neck top (the one she is wearing), love the colors!!!!
You can also decorate the hat by pinning a brooch or corsage at the brim area.
If you are pro enough, you can always modify the pattern and make a bigger version for adult, like adding another yo for the yo-yo puff and increase the stitches to the brim accordingly.

Arrange your crochet yo-yo puff as shown in the picture (click it to enlarge).
Use a tapestry needle to sew 2-3 sts to join with the adjacent yo-yo puff.
Sew the top crown and side crown respectively.
Join the top crown and side crown.
Crochet the brim as per above pattern. The blue color brim is on the wrong side since it provides better curvature for the hat
Sew the crown to the brim by picking up a few stitches on the puff and sew them to the brim with even distribution.

Love this-certainly am going to try it. Thanks for sharing with us. You are so creative.
Thanks, Jane! Please share with us when you have done
This is fabulous! A fantastic idea! I think I will try this with regular yo yo’s from material, since I don’t know how to crochet. I will share this with my friends, for sure!! Beautiful!!
If you can sew, do it with fabric
It would be very helpful to know the yarn weight (e.g., fingering, worsted, DK,etc.) for this project and the gauge. Yarn weight is always provided and gauge is considered a best practice for clothing patterns. This is a beautiful hat but few crocheters will use the pattern unless they are comfortable with determining the yarn weight from the hook specified. If they guess wrong the hat won’t fit and the user will be disappointed in the result. Best of luck; this is a very visually appealing site.
Thanks for the reminder. I have stated the yarn weight in another post called Crochet Tutorial: Granny Square Haltered-Neck Top For Girls since it is the left over yarn from that project. Anyway, I added in here too for the convenient of reference.
Es simplemente bellisimo el sombrero, el tutorial del yoyo me encanto pero estaba cerrado los comentarios. No imaginaba que el yoyo podia servir para
accesorios, siempre lo vi en revistas japonesas como tapetes. Te quedo precioso y tu hijita debe estar feliz con una mama que hace cosas bellas. Adoro todo lo que haces. Perdoname por no traducirlo al ingles pero siempre estoy con el tiempo corto.
Lindo fin de semana con la familia.
Besitos.

Bellisimo’s just the hat, I loved yo-yo tutorial but it was closed the comments. Yoyo not imagine that could be used to
accessories, when I saw it in Japanese magazines such as rugs. I am beautiful and your daughter must be happy with a mother who makes beautiful things. I love everything you do. Forgive me for not translated into English but I’m always in short time.
Nice weekend with the family.
Besitos.
Thanks for the compliments

Greetings Craft Person —
This hat is really beautiful, kool and colorful! I agree with Eugene’s comment that the yarn weight and guage would have been helpful (and clear) at the beginning of the instructions. Also, I’ve been crocheting for over thirty years so I was surprised when reading over the instructions for the brim of the hat I found the wording to be a little confusing or distracting. For example, was it necessary to use the phrase “(ditto below if no remark)”? What does that mean?
Maybe it’s just me and that I’m more comfortable and familiar with standardized crochet instructions/wording. I definitely don’t like having to read a pattern repeatedly to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing just to get the piece started. As an experienced crocheter and designer, if I was a little “put off” I’m sure beginners will be.
If I may off the following suggestions:
Insead of:
Brim Crochet Pattern
[White]
Rnd 1: ch 144, slst to 1st ch to make a ring
Rnd 2 – 6: ch1 sc144, slst to the 1st ch. Turn. (144 sts)
How about this:
Rnd 1: ch 144, join in a ring with a sl st
Rnd 2: ch1, sc in each ch, join with sl st in top of ch-1, do not turn
Rnd3-6: Repeat Rnd 1.
If you’re making rounds and joining them with a sl st at the end of each row would there be a turn if the brim is meant to have a “right side”?
Just a thought (or two).
Thanx!

What brand of yarn did you use? Was it a mercerized cotton? I LOVE this hat and am looking forward to trying it. You have a really great site and I am so glad that I stumbled across it. I have been looking for yarn to use but am limited where I live. May have to order online but I want to be sure it is the right yarn.
Thanks!
It is a 100% cotton yarn I bought from local shop and I don’t think it is available online. You can use any similar texture and weight yarn to substitute as long as they produce the correct gauge.
Such a cute project!! Love it!

If you please I want the way of education video if possible
Sorry, I can’t make the video for this. I am not good in videoing
this is so cool, i am so trying this!!thanks for sharing
Hi! thank you so much for sharing this! i have started making this hat for my daughter (kinda had to once she saw it hehe) but have become confused with the brim portion of the instructions. Is there a way to simplify the instructions for the blue portion. I’m really not sure what i’m adding a chain (every third stitch and ad a chain to the next two??) LMBO haha told ya i’m confused. Specifically Rnd 7.
thank you in advance for any help you can offer. have a wonderful day.
I am so glad you have started this project. The chain is a space between 2 sc, i.e. “sc ch sc ch…”etc. the next row, you should crochet sc on the ch st, so, it is “ch sc ch sc…” etc…
Let me know if you still have problem on this.
Hello, thank you so much for your reply! I’m very grateful for your help! Can you please confirm with me, will I be following sc ch sc ch pattern for the whole 144 stiches in row 7 or only in the first 17 of the 144 stitches stiches.
sc ch sc pattern for 180 sts in row 7, which means you need to increase another 36 sts by not skipping the st of row 6. Please let me know should you need further clarification.
Ohhh, okay! Many thanks!! I think I understand. I will try this tonight after my kids are in bed!
Gorgeous idea!!! That hat is too cute for words and the granny square top is adorable. Great work and thanks for sharing your tutorial!
Is a beautiful, congratulations!
