Note: it helps to carry your yarn behind your stitches as you go, making colour changes easier. Hdc2tog – Half Double crochet 2 Stitches together I used a 5mm / H hook and Red Heart Super Saver in charcoal, white, and black for this project. Just remember that with this pattern you MUST work in multiples of 17. To increase or decrease in size you may begin with more or less ribbing rows (since the hat is worked from the bottom up). This hat pattern is made to fit a large child or preteen. so without further ado, here it is!! Stormtrooper Hat End result – nephews LOVE their news hats and Auntie Manna is the bomb this year! 😉 Ultimately, though, the pattern is way too cool not to share. When googling “Star Wars” I happened across a graph of a stormtrooper head and that’s when I decided that I would just create my own hat based on that graph alone.

Done deal! My oldest nephew, however, needed something a little more grown up and I was really struggling to find an awesome Star Wars hat pattern in a suitable size for him. They’ve gotten some pretty awesome hats over the years… everything from, Cars to Mario & Luigi to matching Sully & Mike hats… not to toot my own horn or anything… but this year they were really into Star Wars, which I know very little about, so I really had to bring it up a notch and make something that would really blow them away! I found an awesome paid pattern on Ravelry for a BB8 hat, and I knew instantly that my youngest nephew would love it. I’ve done it ever since they were born, so it’s kind of become a tradition. I did that!Įvery year for Christmas I make my nephews new winter toques.

May the force be with you crochet chart
