• Hook: 6.5mm (K) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create the first stitch.
2. Round 1: Work 10 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring. You should have 10 stitches.
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. You will have 20 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. You should have 30 stitches.
5. Round 4: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. You will have 40 stitches.
6. Rounds 5-10: Sc in each stitch around for a total of 6 rounds. You will maintain 40 stitches throughout these rounds.
7. Round 11: *Sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. You should have 50 stitches.
8. Rounds 12-15: Sc in each stitch around for a total of 4 rounds. You will maintain 50 stitches throughout these rounds.
9. Round 16: Work a textured stitch pattern, such as the bobble stitch, for 5 rounds. This will add a lovely texture to your hat.
10. Switch to a ribbed band: For Round 17, work *front post double crochet (fpdc), back post double crochet (bpdc)* around for 4 rounds. This will create a stretchy ribbed band.
11. Finish: Complete with a slip stitch to join the last round and fasten off your yarn. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
12. Weave in ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a neat finish.

Now you have a cozy textured pumpkin hat to keep you warm this winter! Enjoy your crocheting!
