Crochet Hat with Reversible Ribbing – Two Way Toque
Make a crochet hat with two looks in one! Wear the ribbing folded down for a contrasting edge, or fold it up to make it match. Either way, the two-way toque is as fun to make as it is to wear!

Scrappy Stitchers Stash Bash Crochet Along
The Two-Way Toque is the last design for the 2020 Stash Bash Crochet Along. Each month, I posted a new, stash-busting pattern, and a giveaway prize too! See the giveaway details below, and join in the fun on the Scrappy Stitchers Facebook group. Remember to use the hashtag #ScrappyStitchersStashBash in your social media posts!
Color A is Fyberspates Vivacious DK in #807 Deep Aqua, left over from a Yarnbox subscription. It’s a tonal, 100% merino wool yarn. I had previously used 1 skein of the Vivacious DK in my Straight UP Beanie pattern.
Color B is Universal Infusion Handpaints – a variegated, 50/50 wool and acrylic blend. Any DK weight yarn will work for this crochet hat.
When you think crochet, think CGOA!
As many of you know, I’m a huge fan of the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA). I’ve been a member for several years, and this year am serving on the board as vice president. With classes, crochet alongs, conferences and social events, the CGOA has something to offer everyone, regardless of skill level. As a professional, the contacts and opportunities have been invaluable. I’ve also found some of my closest friendships, expanded my skills, and most importantly, had a ridiculous amount of fun!
I wrote about some of my CGOA experiences back in 2017, and it’s only gotten better since. Even with a cancelled conference due to covid, the guild is still active with lots of new on line opportunities.
I believe in the CGOA so passionately, that I’ve decided to give away a 1 year membership as our final Stash Bash prize! Because of my position as vice president, I felt awkward asking them to sponsor this prize, so this is not a sponsored prize. Stitches n Scraps will be providing a membership for one lucky winner! (See details below)

Special Stitch
Increase (inc): Dc in back loop only of next st, then dc in both loops (as normal) of same st. This is a less visible increase than the traditional dc2tog, and counts as 2 dc in the stitch counts.
Instructions
Entire pattern is worked on the right side. Join rnds where indicated with a sl st in the first st.
The chainless starting double crochet (csdc) stitch creates a cleaner look. However, if you prefer, you can replace csdc with “ch 3, counts as dc” throughout the pattern.
Top (color A):
Rnd 1: With A, ch 4 (counts as dc), 11 dc in 4th ch from hook, join. (12 dc)
Rnd 2: Csdc, dc in same st, inc around, join. (24 dc)
Rnd 3: Csdc, inc, (dc in next st, inc) around, join. (36 dc)
Rnd 4: Csdc, dc in same st, (dc in next 2 sts, inc) around, join. (48 dc)
Newborn: Skip rnds 5-7
Rnd 5: Csdc, dc in next 2 sts, inc, (dc in next 3 sts, inc) around, join. (60 dc)
Baby & Toddler: Skip rnds 6-7
Rnd 6: Csdc, dc in same st, (dc in next 4 sts, inc) around, join. (72 dc)
Child & S: Skip rnd 7.
Rnd 7: Csdc, dc in next 2 sts, inc, (dc in next 5 sts, inc) around, join. (84 dc)
Newborn, Toddler, S & L only:
Next rnd: Csdc, dc in same st, (dc in next 9 sts, inc) around, join. (54 [66, 78, 90] dc)
All Sizes:
Next rnd: Csdc, dc in next st and in each st around, join, changing to B. (54 [60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90] dc)
Fasten off A.
Middle (color B):
Rnd 1: With B, csdc, dc in next st and in each st around, join.

I’m not a member. I have only recently heard of it but not really investigated into it. The couple of times that I have heard of CGOA it’s bee from a designer so I assumed it was for designers, not makers. If I could get more time to crochet, I’d love to sell some products and do more pattern testing.
Pia Thadani
A lot of people think that, but it’s really great for hobbyists and professionals alike! In fact, I would say there are twice as many hobbyists in the guild as professionals (though I don’t actually know those numbers for sure).

I am not yet a member but would love to be! I am most interested in the classes. I have crocheted for over 35 years but I feel that it is a hobby where you can constantly learn new things. I love that about Crochet because it keeps you interested and brings out your artistic side. Thank you for this opportunity.
Pia Thadani
Yes, there’s always something more to learn! I love that about crochet too 🙂
Jamie Gallea
Oooh, I’m definitely interested in this! I’ve thought about a membership but couldn’t really afford it at the time. So this is a good way to enter into it, and then realize that I need to keep my subscription going in the future. Nice giveaway.. Thank you!
Pia Thadani
Yay! Yes it definitely is a great organization. I hope you are able to join either way 🙂
Dawn Tenneson
I am not a member but I love inspiration for fiber arts and love your designs!
Pia Thadani

Pia Thadani
You’re welcome, I can’t wait to see how your hat turns out! 🙂
Diane Godsil
Thank you for the chance to win a CGOA membership. I was a member for 1 year a few years ago, but couldn’t afford to renew & keep it up.
Pia Thadani
You’re welcome 🙂
Ceitllyn Connal
Thanks for the CGOA giveaway! It’s wonderful seeing great crochet organizations.
Tonia Deakin
I’ve never been a member but I would be excited just learning all I could from being one. I’ve been crocheting for about 20 years but I love learning new techniques and meeting more crochet friends.
Pia Thadani
CGOA is a great place to do exactly that!
Sherri
I am not a CGOA member. I actually didn’t even know about it until I received your newsletter in my email. I’ve only been crocheting for about three years now, but I feel like I’m getting better at it. I think the membership would give me more insight on techniques and help me learn more about crocheting. My poor mom and grandma both tried to teach me as a kid, and I was more interested in playing outside in the barn or chasing frogs around the pond. I was a weird girl! lol Here I am soon to be 49, and I’m about finished with a king-size mosaic blanket. It’s my first blanket, too. It will be gifted to my niece who just graduated from high school. I’m just in LOVE with crocheting!
