Happy November Crocheters! Today I get to share my new Norah Hat Pattern with you! This great project works up SO FAST! Less than 40 minutes from start to finish and less than 1 ball of Super Bulky Weight Yarn!

The Norah Hat is crocheted with Bernat Pop! Bulky Yarn and let me tell you – I was able to design and crochet 2 adult hats with just one cake of this yarn! Stay tuned for the second pattern, the Rachel Beanie! The Rachel Beanie is a Quick Winter Beanie Crochet Pattern designed for the 24 Days of Quickies with Marly Bird & Friends event. The pattern becomes available December 8, 2019.
This great super bulky weight yarn [6] is soft and squishy and it works up so quickly into a finished project! Each hat design (in an adult size) took me less than 40 minutes to crochet! So for anyone looking for quick crochet projects, or last minute gift ideas, you may want to browse the yarn colors available in this yarn and then print off your own copy of the Norah Hat and the Rachel Beanie and get to work!

OMG!!! I’m so in love with this hat!!!Norah Hat Pattern Because of your color choice and how it covers the ears!!!! Not only is it beautiful but very functional!!! Girl, you did it!!! Thank you so much for the free pattern!! You have the gift of color!!
Hi Heather, What yarn and hook are you using? I wonder if I have any here so I can see what I need to do for the pattern to make it work for you? Let me know when you have time! All the best, Rhondda
thanks Rhondda for reply. My second hat turned out almost the same too small for even a two year old. I am trying to get the exact yarn which is not available in Michaels or Walmart Toronto. Will try and get from U.S.A. This is such an nice pattern, I just will try again. Best wishes for the season.
thanks f
Hi Heather, it sounds like you getting too many stitches per inch for your gauge. I would go up at least 1 hook size. Based on the numbers you gave me, you crocheted the child size so 30 stitches and reached a circumference of 12.5 inches. This means you have approximately 2.52 stitches in every inch. For my gauge I achieve 1.57 stitches in an inch. So to make it work you would need to crochet looser – which is hard to do so I would go up at least 1 hook size and see if that helps you reach approximately 1.5 stitches in an inch. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you – it really is a very easy hat once we match our gauges! All the best, Rhondda
I’ve just. Done this in child’s size and used a super chunky Caron cake and 10 mm needle. Alas I’ve ended up with a newborn hat. What did I do wrong? My hat was 5 .5 inches length and 12.5 inches around.
