How do you crochet without a pattern?

Welcome to your complete how-to guide to crocheting a seamless hat for beginners without a pattern!
Hats are wonderful crochet projects – they are quick, satisfying, and very often need only one ball of yarn. I love making hats for my friends and family, and every year I like to make a new hat for myself for winter – needless to say, I have rather a lot in my collection now.

Inside this booklet, we show you everything you need to know to crochet an easy hat using your printable templates. The best thing about these templates is, once you know how to get the most out of them, you don’t even need a pattern to crochet perfect sized hats every time! We show you how to use your templates, and then as you flick through the book you will find crochet inspiration for that different kind of hats you can make with your templates.

Rather than patterns, we have provided you with a recipe book of everything you need to have a go at some of the hats you can see, but we encourage you to think outside the box and go as simple or creative as you want with your hats! Start with the first recipe to get the basics of how to use your templates, and as you make your way through the collection you will find each one stretches your skills in different ways.

I hope you love your new templates, and I can’t wait to see all your great hats!

Happy crocheting,

Crochet the perfect size hat every time with your easy-to-use templates!

Your handy new hat templates are perfect guides to make simple hats with no need for a pattern. The way they work is simple, but very clever – the rounded top of the template shows the size of the crown for a top-down hat, and the height of the template is the suggested height for the hat. It’s that easy! As long as you crochet the crown to match the rounded top, and the height the same length as the template, you will be crocheting hats in no time for everyone. You can keep it simple with double crochet in the round, or make it more complex with a pretty stitch pattern – as long as you match the template, you can get as creative as you like.
