I don't know if Hastur was one of Lovecraft's, a lot of authors contributed to the mythology. I know you can find Hastur in "The Gable Window" by August Derleth

from http://www.hplovecraft.com/life/myths.htm#hastur

"I found myself faced by names and terms that I had heard elsewhere in the most hideous of connexions - Yuggoth, Great Cthulhu, Tsathoggua, Yog-Sothoth, R'lyeh, Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, Hastur, Yian, Leng, the Lake of Hali, Bethmoora, the Yellow Sign, L'mur-Kathulos, Bran, and the Magnum Innominandum - and was drawn back through nameless aeons and inconceivable dimensions to worlds of elder, outer entity at which the crazed author of the Necronomicon had only guessed in the vaguest way."

it seems hastur was only mentionned by hp Lovecraft AND the unspeakeable (Magnum Innominandum) was also mentionned later in the sentence.

So it's safe to say that all description of Hastur, and all mention of him as "the unspeakable" doesnt come from hp Lovecraft.
