Suzette Crochet Hat Pattern

The Suzette Crochet Hat Pattern is available in sizes baby to adult. It features the beginner friendly Suzette Stitch (aka thicket stitch).

The Suzette Stitch is also known as the Thicket Stitch. It is a lovely beginner friendly crochet stitch that is created by making single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc) stitches in a specific stitch for every round.

The finished fabric is perfect for projects like blankets, scarves and hats because there are no big gaps between the stitches. This stitches also looks fabulous when crocheted in a single color of yarn; the beautiful texture created by the stitches shines through.

This hat is crocheted with Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 5.5 mm (I) hook. The Suzette Crochet Hat Pattern works up quickly and is available for free in my post below in sizes Preemie to Adult Large.

Notes:

• Stitch multiple: 2 (Understanding Stitch Multiples)
• Crochet stitch pattern : Thicket Stitch Pattern aka Suzette Stitch
• The initial ch-3 does not count as stitch.
• The sl st does not count as a stitch
• Make your sl st tightly
• You may customize the hat height by working the repeat as many, or as few, times as you wish. Every 3 rounds you add with the stitch pattern, will add approximately 1-inch of height to the hat. 
• If you would like to add a little bit more height to the hat, work an additional round (or two) of sc in the back loop only. 
• I use an invisible join to finish off my final round of stitches, you may substitute a sl st to join if you prefer.
