Stitch Explanation

1. Front Post Double Crochet: Worked like regular double crochet but you don’t insert your hook under a st as usual. Insert your hook from front to back through space between two double crochet stitches, bring hook back to front through next space between double crochet stitches, yarn over, and complete double crochet as usual. See the blog post here to learn the st: Front Post Double Crochet Tutorial

 

2. Reverse Single Crochet: Worked like regular single crochet but you work from left to right and insert your hook into the stitch on the right before pulling up a loop.

 

Pattern

Note: Stitch counts for bigger sizes are given in brackets in the order 0-3 months( 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-3 Years, 3-10 years, Preteen to Adult).

Repeat Round 7 until your hat is 4( 4 ½, 5, 5 ½, 6, 7) inches tall ( See pic 3). Then work the leveling round below.

 

Leveling Round: Ch 1. 1 hdc in same st as ch 1, 1 hdc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 st, *(1 hdc in next 2 st, 1 sc in next 4 st), repeat from *, sl st to the first hdc of the round. Proceed to make the brim for your size.

BRIM

Pattern Notes

 1. For the brim you will turn at each round starting from the second round. You don’t work in a spiral and you slip stitch to the 1st sc at the end of each round. So ch 1 is not counted as a stitch.

 

2. You can increase the width of your brim by adding more rounds before the final reverse sc round. After the last even round of sc, work an increase round with one extra st between the increases, that is, if your last increase round had 11 sc and then an increase (2sc), you should now work 12 sc and then an increase. Then follow it up with an even round with no increases. You can repeat these 2 rounds to make your brim as wide as you want. Keep in mind that too wide a brim can make it floppy. Alternately, you can make a wide brim and add a wire as shown in this Sun hat tutorial.
