Materials Needed:
- Yarn of your choice
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Steps:
Hat Base:
Magic Circle: Begin by making a magic circle, chain 1 to secure.
- Round 1: Make 6 single crochets (SC) into the magic circle, pull the circle tight and slip stitch (SL ST) to the first SC to join.
- Round 2: Chain 1, make 2 SC in each stitch around. At the end, you should have 12 SC. SL ST to the first SC to join.
- Round 3: Chain 1, make 1 SC in the first stitch, followed by 2 SC in the next stitch. Repeat around. You will end with 18 SC. SL ST to join.
- Round 4: Chain 1, 1 SC in the same stitch and the next, then 2 SC in the third stitch. Repeat around for a total of 24 SC. SL ST to join.
- Round 5: If continuing to expand, increase in every fourth stitch for 30 SC total. Continue this pattern (increasing in the n+1th stitch each round) for as many rounds as necessary to reach the desired base diameter.
Making the Hat Body:
- After your final increase round (Round 4 or later), chain 1 to start and then SC in each stitch around without increasing to start forming the hat's sides. Repeat this for three rounds or more for a deeper hat.
Brim:
- Round 8 (Transition to Brim): Change color (optional), and chain 3, skip 1 SC from the previous round, then 1 SC. Repeat around to create a lace effect for the brim foundation.
- Round 9 (Petal Making): Chain 4, turn work; SL ST into the previous SC, turn work back and make 7 SC in the chain space, then 3 SC around the post of the next SC. Repeat around to make a petalled edge.
Finishing Touches:
- Puff Stitch Round: Join yarn in any chain three space from round 8, make a puff stitch in each chain space around, following by chaining and joining as specified to create a decorative edge to the brim.
- Finish by weaving in all ends securely and any additional finishing details like tightening the central magic circle if necessary.
Note: The pattern encourages creativity, such as adjusting the size for different fits or adding decorative elements. This is a flexible project intended to be fun and customizable.
