Pattern Instructions

Part 1: Creating the Top of the Hat

Foundation Circle:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain 4, then connect the chain into a circle using a slip stitch into the first chain.
Round 1:
- Inside the circle, work 2 single crochets (sc) into every stitch.
- Note: It can be slightly tricky to start; feel free to take it slow and work loosely.
  Save
- Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of every row.
Round 2:
- Work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then 1 single crochet into the next stitch.
- Repeat this sequence until the end of the round. Slip stitch to join.
Round 3:
- Work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then 1 single crochet into the next 2 stitches.
- Repeat the sequence around.
Repeat this method for subsequent rounds. With each round:
- Increase by 1 additional single crochet between every increase (2 sc into the same stitch).
  Save
- For instance:
  - Round 4: 2 sc, then 3 sc in individual stitches.
  - Round 5: 2 sc, then 4 sc in individual stitches.
  - Continue increasing until your hat top reaches a diameter that fits your head (based on head size measurements).
Back Loop Row:
- Once the diameter is complete, work 1 row of single crochet into the back loop only.
- This helps create a neat edge for attaching other sections later.

2: Granny Squares for the Band

Make Four Granny Squares:
- Using a 3.0 mm crochet hook, create 4 granny squares following these steps:Step 1:
  - Create a magic ring (or chain 5, slip stitch to form a circle).
  - Work 16 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Chain 3 at the start of the row counts as the first dc.
  Step 2:
  - Switch colors for the next row. Slip stitch into any gap.
  - Chain 2, then work [2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc] into each gap around. Fasten off.
  Step 3:
  - Add another round. Create cluster stitches:
    - In each gap, work 3 dc, leaving loops on the hook, then yarn over to pull through all loops.
    - Chain 1 to secure the cluster, then repeat.
  Step 4:
  - Add corner detailing with a new color yarn:
    - Work [1 dc, 1 tr, chain 2, 1 tr, 1 dc] into corner gaps to form sharp edges.
      Save
    - Between corners, chain 4, work 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the next gap, then chain 4 again.
  Step 5:
  - For the final row, work 2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc in each corner and 4 dc in chain gaps between. Fasten off.

3: Connecting the Granny Squares

Sew the 4 granny squares together to form a band.
Using a darning needle, attach the top section (hat crown) to the granny square band using single crochet stitches.

4: Creating the Brim

Base Brim Row:
- Attach pink yarn and work 1 single crochet into each stitch around the base of the hat (granny square edge).
Increasing Rows:
- Row 1: Increase row:
  - Work 2 sc into the first stitch, then crochet 5 sc in consecutive stitches.
  - Repeat this pattern around, then slip stitch to join.
- Row 2: No increase row:
  - Crochet 1 sc into each stitch around.
- Alternate between an increase row (increase by adding 1 more sc between every 2 sc in the same stitch) and a no increase row.
  Save
Repeat this pattern until the brim reaches your desired length.
Fasten off and use a darning needle to weave in loose ends.
