• Make 9 half double crochets (HDC) into the circle.
• Place a stitch marker in the first stitch to keep track of rounds.
• Close the ring securely.

Note: The hat is worked in continuous rounds instead of joining each row.

Step 2: Increasing Stitch Counts (Rows 2–13)

Every row begins with a stitch marker in the first stitch and ends with an increasing stitch. Follow the sequence below:

• Row 2: Increase in every stitch (2 HDC in each stitch).
• Row 3: Alternate 1 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 4: Alternate 2 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 5: Alternate 3 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 6: Alternate 4 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 7: Alternate 5 HDC and 1 increase.

Continue increasing stitches for the following rows:

• Row 8: Alternate 6 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 9: Alternate 7 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 10: Alternate 8 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 11: Alternate 9 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 12: Alternate 10 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 13: Alternate 11 HDC and 1 increase.

At the end of Row 13, the crown of the hat measures approximately 7 inches in diameter.

Step 3: Building the Body of the Hat (Rows 14–24)

• Transition to normal rows without increases.
• For 10 rows, work 1 HDC in every stitch.
• This forms the body of the hat, which measures approximately 2.5 inches.

Step 4: Creating the Brim (Rows 25–32)

The brim adds a charming flair to the hat, measuring approximately 3 inches. The stitch pattern slightly changes, introducing new increases where required:

• Row 25: Alternate 8 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 26: Alternate 10 HDC and 1 increase.
  For remaining stitches in Row 26, make 1 HDC in each stitch.
• Row 27: Repeat Row 26.
• Row 28: Alternate 9 HDC and 1 increase.
• Row 29–30: Alternate 9 HDC and 1 increase; finish remaining stitches with 1 HDC.
• Row 31–32: Alternate 8 HDC and 1 increase; finish remaining stitches with 1 HDC.
• Final Row: Work 1 HDC in every stitch across the brim. Slip stitch into the marked stitch, then chain 1 and cut the yarn.

Step 5: Adding Decorative Edges

• Insert your hook into the last stitch from the brim.
• Attach the white yarn and make a slip knot.
  White edge pattern:
  • 2 chains.
  • 2 double crochets (DC) in the same stitch.
  • Skip 1 stitch and make a slip stitch in the next stitch.
  • Repeat until reaching the end of the row.
• Slip stitch into the first DC, chain 1, and cut the yarn.

Step 6: Making Daisies

• Use yellow yarn (grab 2-plies for a smaller daisy). Create a circle loop large enough for a flower.
• Secure the circle onto the hat surface by tying it from the wrong side or sewing.
• For petals, use white yarn (2-plies) and sew petals around the yellow circle. Secure ends at the back.
  Save

Step 7: Adding Ties

Customize the ties as follows:

• Flip the hat to the wrong side. Count 10 rows inward from the bottom edge and insert your hook.
• Attach brown yarn, make a slip knot, and chain 110 for the desired length.
• Creating the flower at the end of the tie:
  • Skip 3 chains, and in the fourth chain, work 5 triple crochets (TRC).
  • Slip stitch into the 3 skipped chains.
• Slip stitch into every chain along the tie until reaching the base.
• Create a second tie parallel to the first.

Step 8: Weaving Ends

Weave in all yarn tails securely using a yarn needle. This ensures a clean and polished finish.
