You can, but the hat will turn out much shorter than if you used double crochets.

Can I substitute sc for the dc’s in this pattern?

hmm, not exactly. Did you already complete round 1 and round 2? If so, round 3 will go like this….

ch 3
make 2 dc in the next dc
then make 1 dc in the next dc
then keep repeating the 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, etc. until you get to the beginning of the round.
then you’ll do the slip stitch in top of beginning ch-3

you’ll have a total of 36 double crochets when you are done round 3.

Let me know exactly where you get stuck so that I can help you better.

So, this mean’s I am doing a double crocket in each stitch all the way around until i get back to where I started and then I will chain three and start the next round?

You will start by chaining 3. Then you will repeat the instructions in the ( ) all the way around. So you will do 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, etc. until you reach the beginning of the round. Then you’ll make a slip stitch into the top of the beginning ch-3 that you made at the beginning of the round. The top of the chain is the 3rd chain of the ch 3 that you made.

This is a great and simple pattern! I added a scalloped edge and a crocheted flower, turned out really well. Thanks for posting this!:)

Yes, thanks for asking! If you’re going to print the pattern out to share, you can use the print function in your internet browser and it should print out nice and neatly. It should also have the url of the site on the top of each page. Have fun teaching your class!

Can I use the pattern for my beginner crochet class? We’re making these hats to give to our local pregnancy center! Thanks!

Very cute hat, I made it with leftover yarn I had from making booties and scratch mittens. Definitely will be a great addition and matching accessories. Absolutely love it!!!
