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

What are. “V stitches”? Thank you. L. D. [email protected]
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!
Yes!! Sorry about that – thanks for letting me know. I’m fixing it now π
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.
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
What is fpdc and bpdc?
Thank you.
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?
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.
Thanks for letting me know Bonnie!! I went in and fixed it π
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!
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.
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
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
