Barn mössa!

Bild och mönster har jag lånat här!

This hat fits a 12/18 months toddler, but it can be adapted to any size by increasing the base chain by multiples of 8 and adding rows.
Materials
5mm crochet hook
4,5 mm circular needles or 5 DPNs
Less than 1 50g skein of baby yarn. (For the one in the photo I used Ice Yarns Baby Wool Print)
Tapestry needle

Abbreviations
dc - double crochet
slst - slip stitch
ch - chain

1 - Ch 64 (loosely, for added stretchiness) and close ring with slst on ch1.
2 - Ch3, 2dc, ch1, skip one stitch, *3 dc, ch1, skip 1 stitch*, and repeat ** to end of row, slst on top of ch3.
3 - slst to the gap between the groups of 3 dc (slst inside the gap because the next ch3 will pose as a dc in this group of 3 dc), ch 3 and 2 dc in the gap, ch 1, *3 dc in the next gap, ch 1*, repeat to end of row. slst on top of ch3. Repeat this row 7 times. Your hat has now 9 rows.
10 - slst to the gap between the 2 groups of 3 dc, ch3 and 2 dc in the gap, *3 dc in the next gap (no ch between)*, and repeat ** to end of row. Slst on top of ch3.
11 - Repeat row 10.
12 - Sl st to the gap between the groups of 3 dc, ch3 and 1 dc in gap, ch1, *2 dc in gap, ch1* and repeat ** to end of row. Slst on top of ch3.
13 - Repeat row 12 but without the ch1 between the groups of 2 dc.
14 - Slst to gap between groups of 2 dc, ch4, dc in the next gap, *ch1, dc crochet in the next gap* and repeat ** to end of row. Slst on top of ch3. Cut yarn leaving about 7 '' to bind off and sew the opening.
Now you are going to knit the ribbed edge of your hat. Pick up 64 stitches with your crochet hook and place them on the Circular needles or 4 DPNs (16 stitches each). Knit 7 of 2x2 ribbing in the round (knit 2, purl 2) and bind off loosely, for stretchiness.
To close the top of your hat, put the yarn through every stitch of the opening and pull it. Sew the opening on the inside of the hat and weave in ends.
Cut 9 pieces of yarn about 15'' long and get them through 2 of the gaps between dc of the last row on the top of your hat so that the ends are all even (folded in half). Divide the 18 pieces of yarn in 3 groups of 6 and braid until desired length (my braid is about 5,5'') and secure it with a knot. Cut the ends. And it's done!
