            \ud83e\uddf6 Step-by-Step Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udd18 PART 1: Crochet the Crown (Top of the Hat)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            This part is made in continuous rounds<\/strong> (no joining at the end of each round). Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            R1:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Start with a magic ring<\/strong> (MR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Work 6 sc into MR<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Pull tight to close the ring
              (6 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              R2:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • inc in each st around<\/strong> (2 sc in each stitch)
                (12 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                R3:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • (1 sc, inc)<\/em> repeat around

                    \n
                  • (2 sc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                    (24 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    R5:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • (3 sc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                      (30 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • (4 sc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                        (36 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        R7:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • (5 sc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                          (42 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          • (6 sc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                            (48 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            Keep increasing in this pattern until the circle is about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) in diameter<\/strong> for a standard adult size. You can stop increasing when you have approximately 72\u201384 stitches<\/strong> around, depending on your yarn and desired fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Now that the crown is wide enough, stop increasing and continue working 1 sc in each stitch around<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \ud83d\udc49 Tip<\/strong>: Try on the hat (or measure from top of the head to top of ears) to decide how long you want the body section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \ud83e\udde2 PART 3: Crochet the Brim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                              Time to shape the brim! The brim will be slightly flared out using increases spaced evenly throughout each round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              R1 (Brim):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                                \n

                                      Continue in this pattern, adding more stitches every other round to shape the brim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      2. Use the yarn needle to weave in all ends<\/strong> neatly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      3. If needed, block<\/strong> the hat slightly with steam or light wetting to shape it better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      4. You can also edge the brim<\/strong> with a slip stitch row or crab stitch (reverse sc) for a cleaner finish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
