Jag har aldrig virkat efter monster forr, och speciellt inte engelska!

Kan nagon vanlig sjal oversatta termerna (inte hela texten) till svenska, sa att det iaf blir lite lattare att forsta vad de syftar pa?

Abbreviations Used in This Pattern:

• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• st = stitch

Hat Instructions:

Ch 45.

Row 1: Sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch st across the row. (44 sl sts.)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Work entire row in sl st. (44 sl sts.)

Row 3: Ch 1, turn. Work entire row in sl st. (44 sl sts.)

Row 4: Ch 1, turn. Work entire row in sc. (44 sc sts.)

Rows 5 and Up: The pattern repeats from here on - 3 rows of sl st followed by 1 row of sc st - with the following minor change: row 5 will be a sl st row; work your sl sts into the front loops of the sc sts in the previous row.

Continue working in pattern repeat until your hat is the desired size.

My sample hat is 100 rows total, but you should crochet as many rows as necessary to achieve a comfortable fit for the intended wearer. You can do a quick fitting by using safety pins to temporarily pin up the sides of the hat and try it on.

End off; weave in ends. Block and let dry.

Crochet the Seam:

Hold (or pin) the first and last row together in order to form a tube. Work one slip stitch through both loops of both the stitches in the first row and last row.

Gathering the Top of the Hat:

Thread your yarn needle and hand stitch a straight basting-type stitch loosely all the way around the upper perimeter of the hat. Make your stitches as even as possible, and keep them as close to the edge as you comfortably can.

Your next goal is to transform the tube into a hat shape that's open at the bottom and closed at the top. To do so, you're going to use your basting stitch as the mechanism for gathering the top of the tube.

After the top has been gathered, make a few extra stitches as needed to secure the gathers and then set the piece aside while you crochet the circle.

Circle Instructions:

Ch 5, sl st to form a ring

Round 1: 10 sc in ring; sl st to join to the first sc in the round.

Round 2: ch 1. Working through both loops, work 2 sc in each sc. (20 sc.) sl st to join.

Round 3: ch 1, 1 sc in each sc (20 sc.) sl st to join.

I stopped there; the circle for my hat is made up of these 3 rounds. It measures about 2 1/4", and it is big enough to successfully cover the gathers at the top of my hat.

I worked out a couple of extra rounds for the circle, just in case you need them. Reasons why you might need them:

• If your circle turned out smaller than mine
• If your circle doesn't cover the gathers at the top of your hat completely when you try to stitch it onto the top of the hat

Don't use the extra rounds unless you need them, and do your best not to need them by gathering the top of the body of the hat as tight as you can.

Optional Round 4: ch 1, (1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) repeat sequence in parentheses all the way around (30 sc total)

Optional Round 5: ch 1, work 1 sc in each sc all the way around (30 sc total)

When you end off, leave a long tail of yarn that you can use to stitch the circle to the top of the hat.

Your next task: stitching the circle to the hat so that it hides the basting stitch and all the gathers. You want this to be permanent, so stitch around the circle several times until you are confident that it won't work its way loose. When you are finished, turn the hat inside out and weave in any remaining loose ends.
