MOD LID KNOB HOT HATS; Coalinga-CA

I like perked coffee, so when I spotted this campfire coffee pot in Ocean Park - I snapped it up.

The lid gets hot … it needed a Hotpad cover.

So, I spent today designing and crafting these little lid knob covers:

MOD Striped hot hat.

Holland said, "They look like little sombreros": and that is how I named them for this post 😉

My hot hat designs are a textured *1 st in front loop, 1 st in back loop* pattern, and uses simple sts.

Materials:

Scrap cotton yarns in colors of choice (I chose Fall colors); # G crochet hook, 1 rubber band, scissors & a Tapestry Needle.

Terms used:

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

sts = stitches

rpt - repeat

sl st = slip stitch

inc = increase

MC = main color

CC = contrast color

(1) Striped Pattern: With MC yarn & crochet hook, ch 2 - then make 6 sc in circle.

Row 2: 2 sc in each st: 12 sc

Row 3: *2 sc first st, 1 sc*: rpt around: 18 sc

Row 4: *1 sc in each if the next 2 sts, 2 sc  next st*: rpt around: 24 sc

Rows 5 thru 8: Sc even: 24 sc

Row 9: Double the rubber band & work a row of sc around the band - join with a sl st: 24 sts

Row 10: Attach CC, & ch 3 - work as follows: 1 dc in same st (inc), then *1 dc in next st, 2 dc next st* using the 1 st in front loop, 1 st in back loop textured pattern; rpt around: 38 sc
