CROCHET PATTERN for a Riding Hat, Gaucho, Spanish Riding Hat. Sizes Baby, Toddler, Girls, Boys, Ladies, Men's, Medium, Large, X Large, XX Large.
As it is very difficult to see stitches in dark colors, the pattern is made using a light color yarn. Medium Worsted Weight yarn is required Aran Weight for Britain, 10 Ply for Australia and a 4 mm Crochet Hook US G / 6, Britain 8. A simple technique for the crown is used that will ensure a nice strong flat top which Riding Hats normally have. The pattern requires SC and FPSC Front Post Single Crochet, fully explained for those that do not know how and would like to learn. Please see the video on my Youtube channel to see how to FPSC. A tighter stitch is also required.
