Stitch Explanation

1. Front Post Double Crochet: Worked like a regular double crochet but you don’t insert your hook under a st as usual. Insert your hook from front to back through the 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. Working into Front Loop or Back Loop: Working into the front or back loop means you insert your hook under only one of the loops of your st as shown below. This will leave a loop free.

3. Reverse Single Crochet: Worked like a regular single crochet but you work from left to right and insert you hook into the stitch on the right before pulling up a loop. You can see a video here or See pic 2 below. If you find reverse single crochet hard, look for its easier alternative, the twisted single crochet on Youtube

Note: For marking the stitches, count the back loops left free if you find it hard to count the reverse sc.

 

Skip 12 (12, 13, 14) st from point of fasten off, place a marker in next st, skip 33 ( 39, 43, 47) st, and place a second marker. Your visor will be worked between these markers.

Repeat Row 3 until your visor is 1-1/2  (1-3/4, 2-1/4, 2-3/4)” in width from the base of the last reverse single crochet ridge. Fasten off.

 

Sl st under the reverse sc ridge at the point where the visor starts (see pic 8), work reverse sc along the sides of the visor by sticking your hook into the row ends and making about 3 reverse sc per 4 rows ends. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
