Tunisian crochet has always had a special place in my heart! I have fallen in love with Tunisian crochet years ago.

After several designs published in magazines, I have set out to spread the word on just how great this technique can be!

However, when I started exploring the crochet industry a little more, I have come across a lot of misconceptions about Tunisian crochet.

I was also a little disappointed to learn that people tend to avoid Tunisian crochet. They mostly see fabric created with Tunisian crochet as being heavy, dense and thick.

However, the only way the fabric is heavy, dense and thick is if you want it to be that way.

Tunisian crochet is so much more! It is pretty, modern, versatile and most importantly easy!

In the right hands and with the right direction, Tunisian crochet too can create a light, airy and wearable fabric.

So let me introduce you to Linna Hat using Tunisian Entrelac technique in corner to corner or C2C.

Linna Hat – FREE Tunisian Entrelac Hat Pattern

The Linna Hat is such a great crochet accessory to add to your wardrobe! It is a quick make and a great project to practice your new skills on!

And that is exactly right, you do not even need a special Tunisian crochet hook to work up this magic. Neither do you need a previous experience in Tunisian Crochet!

All you need is a straight crochet hook without any fancy ergonomic handles. This is because the most loops you will have on your hook at one time is eight!

That is right, just 8 stitches to work with, the entrelac technique is a gentle introduction into Tunisian crochet!

Linna Tunisian Entrelac Hat Details

As I said, the hat uses the entrelac Tunisian crochet technique worked diagonally across the fabric from one corner to the other.

The basic shape of the fabric you need to achieve is a rectangle. Once you have finished your rectangle fabric, we will fold it in half and sew up across the shorter side.

This will create a tube shape that is the perfect start for a hat. We will then cinch one end of the tube closed which will form the top of the hat.

This is where we will also add a pom pom to finish the hat off.

The bottom of the hat is then finished off with a brim that is worked onto the hat. I used the classic single crochet through back loop only with a smaller hook to cinch the bottom in ever so slightly.

The hat also uses three different yarn colors – khaki, vintage pink and white.

However, the combinations of colors are endless and you can completely customise the finished look of your hat to match your winter coat or other accessories!

And the “playing with color combinations” doesn’t have to end there either! There are so many colorful faux fur pom poms you can choose from too to give your finished hat the personal touch!

Do you fancy a monochrome black and white version? Or do you feel like going “all out” and using all the colors of the rainbow? The choice is completely yours!

Tunisian Entrelac Hat Main Pattern

Pattern Notes

• A C2C entrelac project is made up of a combination of small squares that are positioned in a way that builds a square / rectangular /triangular fabric.
• The smaller squares are built individually and joined using the join-as-you-go technique with other squares.
• each small square is made up of 5 rows of 7 stitches
• the squares use Tunisian Simple Stitch
• there are 4 types of squares we will need in order to complete the rectangle.
• the first loop that stays on the hook counts as first stitch
• each row in Tunisian crochet consists of two parts – Forward Pass (FP) and Return Pass (RP)
• forward pass is worked right to left picking up loops onto the hook
• return pass is worked left to right working the loops off the hook

The Linna Hat consists of 52 small squares arranged in 4 x 13 rectangle.

You will start with square one in the bottom left corner.

Then follow the order of squares working diagonally in corner to corner fashion as shown on the diagram below.

Your last square is no. 52 in the top right corner.

The schematic below shows you the order in which you will be working on your squares. Starting with square 1 through to square no. 52.

Here is the layout of the squares from 1-52 showing you which square type pattern to use.

Follow the pattern for each square joining them as you go to create a rectangle fabric.

The Linna Hat is a simple hat made from rectangle.

Once you have finished your rectangle fabric, you will fold and sew it up along the shorter edge, cinch the top and add a single crochet through back loop only brim.
