This was originally based on Stallone F.'s 'Link Hat' but the pattern didnt work out to well for me so i made up a bit of my own...(for a shorter version, check Stallone F.'s pattern at: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/legend-of-zelda-link-hat)

THIS IS THE FIRST PATTERN I'VE EVER WRITTEN!
So feel free to correct me in the comments!
Thanx

You Will Need (3 things)

  • (Optional) Yarn Needle
  • 5.50mm Crochet Hook
  • Any Colour Yarn

Steps (3 steps, 119 minutes)

  1. 1

    For the band:
    Row 1- chain 7 (if you want a wider band you can do more than seven i just think sevens enough)
    Row 2- single crochet in the back loops of your chains
    Row 3 to desired length- repeat row 2

    When desired length is aquired fasten off and stich both ends of the band together to form it :)

    I repeated row two untill i had 18 inches of band...that seemed to fit (for a slouchy beanie)

  2. 2

    Crown Base:
    Attach your yarn to the top of one side of your band
    Single crochet in every kinda...opening...in the band, 77 single crochets

  3. 3

    Crown:

    *IMPORTANT* Remember to ALWAYS skip the first link/chain in your row. This creates a gradual sloping motion, so that when you wear it (the slope being at the top) the top neatly curves down xD

    Row 1 to 5- Chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*
    Row 6- Chain 3 *Double crochet 4, Decrease* repeat*
    Row 7 to 11- Chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*
    Row 12- Chain 3 *Double crochet 4, Decrease* repeat*
    Row 13 to 17- Chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*
    Row 18- Chain 3 *Double crochet 4, Decrease* repeat*
    ...
    You get the idea...
    Five rows of chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*, & one row of chain 3 {4 double crochet, 1 decrease} repeat! easy...i hope ;P

    Repeat this until you cant crochet anymore!
