How to crochet a frog hat
A crochet frog bucket hat can be made in a very few simple steps. And i will summarise them all below for you.
- Step 1: Make a magic ring- This helps if you are planning on working in the round. If a crochet magic ring is hard for you, then you can simply chain 3 and slip stitch to the first chain you made.
- Step 2: Following this, you will work a few rows of increase. These will differ on sizes you are making. For larger sizes, you will make more rows than the smaller sizes.
- Step 3: Once you have a circle that overs enough of your head, you will then work some normal rows, to form the bucket shape. These rows again will differ depending on the size you are making.
- Step 4: To form the flaps, you will then work 4-5 rows of increase, or however many rows your crochet bucket hat calls for. If we were working an ordinary crochet bucket hat, we would be done on this step. But we are making a frog hat. So we have one more step to make.
- Step 5: Make the frog eyes, we will make these separately then sew them onto out crochet frog hat. And just like that, you are all done!
Crochet Frog Hat Supplies
For this crochet project, the supplies may differ depending on the pattern you are using. Be sure to follow the crochet pattern instructions, but if you are looking for some yarn inspiration, then here you go:
- Crochet hook. You will be using whichever size the pattern crochet hook this project calls for
- Yarn. Most frog hat patterns call for a worsted weight yarn SO you can use any worsted weight cotton yarn you like.
- Scissors
- Tape measure or ruler. Measuring your gauge is important to get the right fit.
- Stitch marker. I like to make the first stitch of my rounds to keep track of the pattern.
Best Yarn For Crochet Frog Hats
For bucket hats, It is recommend that you use cotton yarn. Cotton fibre is more breathable than other types of yarn – which is important if you want your head to stay cool in the summer heat. The texture of cotton yarn also helps the hat keep its shape.
Here are a few cotton yarns I recommend:
- Lily Sugar’n Cream: The is the all-time classic cotton yarn: Lily Sugar n’ Cream. This yarn comes in any color imaginable, including stripes and ombre colorways. For this hat, you’ll need one of the larger 4oz balls of yarn.
- Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton: Lion Brand 24/7 cotton is another great choice for this bucket hat project. This yarn is made with 100% mercerized cotton yarn, which means it’s shinier and a little softer than Lily Sugar’n Cream.
Tips To Crocheting Your First Frog Hat
Here are a few tips and tricks for making this pattern.
- This hat is worked in spiral rounds. When you begin a new round, use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round. When you get to the end of the round, don’t turn your work or make a turning chain. Instead, make the first stitch of the next round in the first stitch of the previous round.
- Be sure to check your gauge. Getting the correct gauge will mean the difference between a hat that fits and one that’s way too large.
- Remember: If you use a different yarn than the pattern recommends, you might get a different gauge. That’s okay, though – just use a larger hook if you need a looser gauge or a smaller hook if you need a tighter gauge.
- If your hat brim is too floppy, consider using a smaller size crochet hook for the brim section. Using a smaller hook will create a denser, sturdier fabric that’s less likely to ruffle. For example, if you made the body of the crochet frog hat with a 4.0 mm hook, you could try using a 3.5 mm hook for the brim.
- Take breaks often. If your body starts talking to you, like your back etc, please take breaks in between.
