Almost exactly three years ago I created the Unforgettable One-Skein Scarf, which has been one of the most popular patterns on this site, with over 90 projects to date on Ravelry and growing. Over the summer I created a knit version and I’ve had requests for a hat to go with the scarf and finally got around to creating the Unforgettable Hat. This hat uses the same yarn and stitch pattern to make a quick and easy project you can finish in no time. Makes a great gift or make it for yourself to match your scarf. π

Hi! For this pattern, a V-stitch is a (dc, ch 1, dc) in the same stitch. It makes a shape like the letter V.

What is the starting chain number? I’m assuming 2…
Thanks!
amanda

I can’t stop making this pattern! I have made 3 hats so far and I started 5 days ago. I started another one last night. It is fast, easy to read, and easy to follow. I am going to try to increase the size because it is too small for my huge noggin. Thank you for the pattern.
amanda
You are so welcome! Glad you like the pattern – you can easily do another round following the same pattern for increasing. This is probably one of the quickest hats I have ever made and I’m so happy you are finding it easy and quick, too! π
Carrie
What is fpdc and bpdc?
Thank you.
amanda
Hi Carrie!
Fpdc is a front post double crochet and bpdc means back post double crochet. If you’re not sure how to do these, I have some tutorial videos at this link.

Your hat is beautiful. Can’t wait to try it!

How can I adjust this for a toddler?
amanda
This hat is made from the top down so it could easily be adjusted for a toddler. Work the hat’s crown until it is the diameter you want (usually 5″ for a toddler) and then work the body of the hat.

The link for the scarf either does not go anywhere OR it is going to a very weird site for shopping, but I don’t know what for.. I wanted to tell you about it so I came back to this site to see if it went to the weird site, but then it didn’t go to any site.
amanda
Thanks for letting me know Bonnie!! I went in and fixed it π
Bonnie
Now the link went to Xfinity…

Tried the link a 2nd time and it was A-OK. ??? Perplexed. Maybe I have a virus on mu=y computer???

Hi! I made your Unforgettable Scarf and was intending on making this but I am struggling understanding the pattern. Do you have any tutorial video on this one? I looked at your YouTube and I didn’t see it but wanted to check.
Thank you!
amanda
I’m sorry I’ve never made a video for this hat. It’s the same v-stitch pattern but you are working it in the round.
Laura B
Hi Amanda,
If I start it off with a magic circle instead, do you know how many stitches would equal your pattern?
Thank you,
Laura
amanda
If I were starting with a magic circle I would do the 4 sc from round 1 in the circle instead of the second ch and continue the pattern from there as written. π
