Materials and Tools

Yarn

• Neptune Yarn by Círculo: Comes in skeins of 301 meters with Tex 332. You will need 3 skeins to complete both the hat and the scarf.
• You may substitute Neptune yarn with similar alternatives:
  • Hobby Baby yarn
  • Candy Baby yarn
  • Batik yarn
  • Double-stranded thinner yarns (if using such adjustments, ensure the yarn combination matches Tex 332 thickness).

Crochet Hooks

• Hat: 4.5 mm crochet hook.
• Scarf: 7 mm crochet hook (you may use 6 mm–8 mm for a more flexible fabric).

Additional Supplies

• A pompom (pre-made furry pompom or handmade from yarn).
• Tapestry needle for seaming and weaving in ends.
• Scissors.
• Liquid silicone glue or fabric glue for securing details like the pompom or fringe.

Pattern Stitch Key (US Terminology)

• Ch: Chain
• Sl st: Slip Stitch
• SC: Single Crochet
• HDC: Half Double Crochet
• DC: Double Crochet
• FPtr: Front Post Treble Crochet

Project Overview

• Hat Size: One size fits most adults (approx. 26 cm wide when folded, ~52–53 cm circumference when sewn).
• Scarf Dimensions: Length of 160 cm – 170 cm (63" – 67"). Adjustable with starting foundation chain.
• Texture: Alternating raised stitch pattern creates a modern, dimensional look.

Hat Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Hat Base

1. Foundation Chain:
   • Ch 48, ensuring the chain remains loose to maintain elasticity if stretched.
   • Skip the first chain, and working into the back loops of the chain creates a cleaner edge.
     Save
2. Row 1:
   • SC in the second chain from the hook. SC again into the next 2 chains (3 SC total).
   • Work 3 HDC into the next 3 chains.
   • For the rest of the row, work 1 DC into each chain until you reach the end.
   • Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Ch 3 (counts as the first DC). Work 1 DC in each stitch until the last 6 stitches of the row.
   • Switch to HDC for 3 stitches, then SC into the last 3 stitches.
   • Turn your work.
4. Row 3 Onward (Textured Pattern):
   • Follow an alternating texture repeat:
     • Where there are SC, work SC into the back loop only.
     • Where there are HDC, work HDC into the back loop only.
     • Where there are DC, continue working DC in the back loop.
   • Maintain this pattern for 26 rows or until the piece measures approximately 26 cm (10 inches) in width.

Step 2: Assembly

1. Shape the Hat:
   • Fold the fabric in half (lengthwise).
   • Use a tapestry needle to seam the side edges together with a whip stitch or mattress stitch. Leave the short edges (top and bottom) open.
2. Close the Top:
   • Using the remaining yarn tail, weave through the last row’s loosened loops using the tapestry needle.
   • Pull tightly into a circle to bring the top together.
   • Secure with a few stitches, reinforcing the top closure.
     Save

Step 3: Pompom Attachment

1. If using a premade pompom:
   • Thread the tapestry needle with the pompom’s attachment strands.
   • Sew the pompom to the hat’s top center, reinforcing by threading back and forth multiple times. Tie securely.
2. If using a yarn pompom:
   • Make a pompom using leftover yarn; tie it into place as described above.
   • Secure with tiny drops of silicone glue for a polished finish.

Scarf Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Scarf Base

1. Foundation Chain:
   • Ch a long chain measuring 160–170 cm (63"–67"). No need to count exact stitches as long as your chains measure the desired length.
   • Skip the first chain and SC into the next chain.
     Save
2. Row 1:
   • Work 1 HDC into each loop of the foundation chain, keeping tension even.
   • Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin Front Post Relief Pattern:
   • Ch 2 (counts as first HDC stitch).
   • Work FPtr (Front Post Treble Crochet) for each stitch across the row for a beautifully textured ribbing effect.
4. Repeat Front Post Stitches Across 19 Rows:
   • Maintain the relief pattern throughout the scarf’s length, creating a raised texture.
   • To finish the scarf ends, work one final row in HDC for a cleaner edge.

Step 2: Adding Fringe (Optional)

1. Prepare Fringe Pieces:
   • Wrap the yarn around an object (like an 18 cm board or book) multiple times to create fringe strands.
   • Cut the loops to create even-length strands ready for application.
2. Apply Fringe:
   • Fold 4–6 strands in half. Use a crochet hook to pull the loop of the folded strands through the scarf’s edge stitches.
   • Pull the loose ends through the loop to secure the fringes with a knot.
   • Repeat evenly across both edges of the scarf.
3. Trim Finish:
   • Use scissors to trim the fringe for a clean, uniform appearance.

Tips for Success

1. Tension Control: Keep your chains loose, particularly at the start, to maintain flexibility in both the hat and scarf.
2. Yarn Substitutions: While Neptune yarn is recommended for drape, substitute with similarly thick, soft yarns to achieve a similar effect.
3. Styling Tips: This elegant set pairs beautifully with casual or formal outfits, making it a wonderful gift or wardrobe addition.

Customization Ideas

1. Adjust Sizing:
   • For a child’s size, reduce the width and length of the scarf foundation chain.
   • Adjust the number of hat rows for different head sizes.
2. Color Variation:
   • Use multiple colors for a striped or two-toned scarf and hat design. Neutral or pastel colors work best for a chic result.
3. Accessorize:
   • Swap the fur pompom with a tassel or crochet embellishment for added creativity.
