The Luscious One Skein Cowl was a hit, so I decided that with the holidays coming and bulky yarns trending, it was time to make it a set - and then some! So today I'm sharing the pattern for the Luscious One Skein Crochet Hat.. and the matching Luscious One Skein Fingerless Mitts!
With just 3 skeins of Lion Brand Unique, or the bulky yarn of your choice, you can make all 3 patterns. Pick your favorite 2 for a wonderful holiday gift set, and be the best gift giver ever! Sized to fit teens to adults, they're all very quick patterns to crochet, making each perfect for last minute snow storms, craft fairs, and of course, presents!
The Luscious One Skein Crochet Hat has two versions - as written it's slightly slouchy, and very very cozy. This "dangerous slouch" really does use every inch of the skein, so only leave 6 inches or so for a tail at the beginning - and weave it in carefully when you finish up the brim! If you don't want to risk it, go with the "safe beanie" option, and omit Rounds 9 and 10, continuing with Round 11 as written. This gives you a bit more room to play. (Note - the original yarn is discontinued, so just look for a skein over 109 yds and you'll be all set!)

Use the first tail at the start of the hat to close up the brim, as seen in the FDC in the Round video tutorial.
And that's a hat! A one skein crochet hat, to be precise. Perfect for the first (or third) snow of the season, or just keeping the chill of your ears. I hope you enjoy the Luscious One Skein Crochet Hat pattern and find a perfect accompaniment in either the cowl or the mitts - or both!

I'm usually bit tight of a stitcher, but using a .M 9.0 hook and Loops and Threads Charisma Bulky Category 5, I have a length of 20.5" at only 38 FDC. Advice pretty pretty please with cherries on top? I've been dying to make this hat ever since I discovered it!!!
CuriousTiff says
Using a size L 8.0 mm and like the size so far. Round 15 sdoesn't add up for me I continue to get 20 sts....
CuriousTiff says
Doh! Of course my stitch count was off, I forgot that I started with 40 FDC instead of 48! pattern worked out nicely once I realized my error. Love the hat, I plan to add a bow or flower and list a project page on Ravelry .
Carolann says
I was doing ok untill I got to Round 15 from there things are not working for me. I am giving it a rest for now.
Tamara Kelly says

Carolyn says
I was doing ok until I got to round 17 is very confusing. I had to guess and do the way I though it should be. I love this hat pattern.
Tamara Kelly says
Glad you were able to make it work! 🙂
Kimberly says
This is such a lovely pattern! Made it for myself last night in day-glo colors, and have gotten so many compliments...bought other colors to make as gifts. Thanks again! 🙂
Faith MCCathern says
I love this hat! I made one for my daughter and I'd love to make one for a 2 year old and a 6 year old. Could you help with how many FDC to start? Thanks!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Faith! Thank you! This hat uses a stitch repeat of 8, so you'll need to make a gauge swatch and figure out your stitch counts from there! 🙂
Jeanie hall says
Love being able to print out the pattern BUT dony want to print out the comments. Hubby complaining about using too much ink. Thanks again
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Jeanie! The Print Friendly button shouldn't print out the comments, and you can click on anything else you don't want to print to remove it too. 🙂
Tania C says
Overthinking round 4...working over the ch 3; do you work into the middle st of the top ch3 or the middle of the bottom slipped stitches.
Thanks ?
Tamara Kelly says
The middle of the bottom skipped stitches - there is a tutorial HERE to help. 🙂
Tania C says
Oh man, I was so close to getting it right. THANK YOU so so much for your quick response!!!!
Happy New Year!!
Tamara Kelly says
🙂 Thank you Tania, Happy New Year to you too!
Allison says
This has nothing to do with the pattern... but no joke i look exactly like the girl modeling this hat and these gloves.
Tamara Kelly says
😀 That's my daughter! How funny!
Ali says
Is round 2 suppose to start with a chain 1 or should it be a chain 2? I just started this but round 2 looks funny when I do the chain 1
Tamara Kelly says
I prefer a ch 1, but if you find a ch 2 looks better, then that's fine too! 🙂
Ali says
I did the one chain I think it looks right but this is my first ever hat and first time using these stitches so I'll just hope for the best! lol
