Crochet inspired by Bowler Hat.

Here, the written pattern for this quick and easy crochet inspired by Bowler hat.

Hoping that you enjoy as I do. This project is simple but very therapeutic as you will work in Circles. Also, does not involve a lot of counting so... you can just stitch and relax :)

Circles are an Universal Symbol. They mean wholeness, unity an inclusion, the cycle of life and the seasons. Perfection. They also remind us about nurturing, eternity and timeless.

Working in rounds is calming and peaceful, I believe, because we start and end circles which are a natural geometrical forms of life itself.

STITCHES (UK terminology)

You will need to know how to start working in rounds, treble crochet, half treble, double crochet and slip stitch.

PATTERN

We are going to work in rounds. The first chain stitches of each round are not count as a stitch. Starting with a round of 12treble crochet followed by three rounds increasing, will give us a total of 48 stitches.  Then continue for 10 more rounds with 1 treble crochet (tr) per stitch. To end we will make a round of half treble (htr) and a round of double crochet (dc). In total 16 rounds. Each round is closed with a slip stitch (slst).

Start: make a magic ring or chain circle.

1- chain 3 and work 12tr inside circle.

2- First round of increasing. Ch3 + 2tr in same stitch. Continue 2tr in each stitch all way around. Close the round with a slst in the 4^th chain from beginning. Total of 24 stitches.

3- Second round increasing. Ch3 + 2tr in same stitch. Continue (1tr in next stitch, 2tr in next) all way around. Close the round with a slst in the 4^th chain from beginning. Total of 36 stitches.

4- Third round inc. Ch3 + 2tr in same stitch. Continue (1tr in next stitch, 1tr in next, 2tr in next) all way around. Close the round with a slst in the 4^th chain from beginning. Total of 48 stitches.
