Step-by-Step Detailed Pattern
Phase 1: The Crown (The Tall Center)
-
Rnd 1: Create a MR. Work 6 Sc into the ring. Pull tight. [00:28]
-
Rnd 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 sts).
-
Rnd 3: * 1 Sc, Inc * repeat 6 times. (18 sts). [01:10]
-
Rnd 4: BLO Sc in each stitch around. This creates the sharp "corner" to start the walls of the crown.
-
Rnd 5–8: Sc in each stitch around (Both loops). This builds the height of the sombrero. [02:45]
Phase 2: The Brim (The Wide Edge)
-
Rnd 9: FLO Inc in each stitch around. This makes the brim flare out horizontally. (36 sts). [04:15]
-
Rnd 10: * 2 Sc, Inc * repeat around. (48 sts).
-
Rnd 11: * 3 Sc, Inc * repeat around. (60 sts). [06:30]
-
Rnd 12 (Upturn): BLO Sc in each stitch around. This forces the very edge of the brim to curl upward slightly, a classic sombrero look.
Phase 3: Decorative Finishing
-
Using a contrasting color and a yarn needle, weave a "running stitch" or "zigzag stitch" around the outer edge of the brim to mimic traditional embroidery. [08:15]
-
Fasten off and weave in all remaining yarn tails.
Conclusion
This tiny sombrero is a quick project that uses basic increases and loop-specific stitching (BLO/FLO) to achieve its distinct shape. It is a great way to use up scrap yarn.
Pattern Correction
In the video, ensure you switch to Front Loop Only (FLO) for the first round of the brim. If you work through both loops, the brim will point downward like a bucket hat rather than staying flat and wide.
Tip for Success
If your brim feels too floppy, use a smaller hook size to make the stitches tighter and stiffer. You can also lightly starch the finished hat to help it hold its iconic shape during display.
