We're almost halfway done with the bonnet potholder. Row 22: dc 2 tog, dc 2, hdc 1, sc 3, hdc 4, dc 6, hdc 3, sc 2 tog, slip stitch to end row. Row 21: hdc 2 tog, hdc 16, sc 3, hdc 1, dc 2, dc 2 tog, ch 2, turn (24 sts) Row 20: dc 2tog, dc 2, hdc 1, sc 3, hdc 18, hdc 2tog, ch 2, turn (26 sts) But, I also wanted a more rounded top for the middle of the bonnet. I wanted to keep the upturned brim of the hat (picture top right) from the original pattern. These rows are a sizable departure from the original pattern.
So, I can't write "decrease 1", I need to write what stitch is used in the decrease. The final 3 rows include sc (single crochet), dc (double crochet), hdc (half double crochet), and - at the end of the last row, a slip stitch. hdc 2tog is "half double crochet 2 together" - or, in other words, "decrease 1 st in hdc"
or, in other words: Row 19: hdc 2tog, hdc 26, hdc 2 tog, ch2, turn (28 sts) Row 19: Decrease 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (28 sts) Row 18: Decrease 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (30 sts) Row 17: Decrease 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (32 sts) Row 16: Decrease 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (34 sts) Row 15: Work even, ch 2, turn (35 hdc sts) Row 14: Increase 1 st at beginning of row, ch 2, turn (35 sts) Row 13: Increase 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (34 sts) Row 12: Increase 2 sts at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (33 sts) Row 11: Increase 1 st at beginning and 2 sts at end of row, ch 2, turn (30 sts) Row 10: Increase 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (27 sts) Row 9: Increase 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (25 sts)
Row 8: Increase 1 st at beginning and 2 sts at end of row, ch 2, turn (23 sts) Row 7: Increase 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (20 sts) Row 6: Increase 1 st at beginning and 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (18 sts) (I used blue instead of peach.) Chain 2 to turn. Row 4: Decrease 1 st at beginning of row, ch 2, turn (17 sts) Row 3: Decrease 1 st at end of row, ch 2, turn (18 sts) Row 2: Decrease 1 st at beginning of row, ch 2, turn (19 sts) Row 1: skip 2, hdc 20, ch 2, turn (20 sts - not counting the ch sts) (The previous posts will be edited to reflect the changes.) It still didn't look right to me - even with the changes I'd already made in converting a pattern for size 5 thread to one for worsted weight cotton yarn. It's taken a while for this post because I wasn't happy with the size of the potholder. Next time, we'll be joining the bonnets together. In the mean time, you could crochet another bonnet - placing the chain st embellishment on the reverse side of the second bonnet so that the 2 bonnets are mirror images of one another. There won't be any more posts from me until after the New Year. The first pic shows the right side of the bonnet, the second the underside, and the third a completed side. I made 3 - 4 chain sts per 2 rows of crocheting.Ĭut the yarn, draw the end through, and then weave it in. Put the hook through the bonnet again and draw yarn through the loop just made.Ĭontinue in this manner until you reach the indentation at the top of the bonnet. Put a hook through the bonnet and draw some yarn through. Pick a spot 1 + 1/4" or more in from the front edge and where the white and blue meet. "Embroider a row of ch sts in White around front of bonnet about 1 1/4 inches from edge" Next is an embellishment to make the potholder look more like a sunbonnet.
