- Scissors and a yarn needle
Skill Level:
Great for beginners who are familiar with single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc).
Hat Size:

Step by step Pattern
Crown (Top of Hat):
- Start: Create a slip knot, chain 4, and slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Round 1: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), work 12 dc through the center of the ring. Slip stitch to the first dc to join. (12 stitches)
- Round 2: Chain 1, work 2 dc in each stitch around. Slip stitch to the first dc to join. (24 stitches)
- Round 3: Chain 1, 1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join. (36 stitches)
- Round 4: Chain 1, 1 dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join. (48 stitches)
- Round 5: Chain 1, 1 dc in the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join. (60 stitches)
Sides:
- Rounds 6-8: Chain 1, dc in every stitch around. Slip stitch to join each round. (60 stitches each round)
- Rounds 9-11: Switch to sc. Chain 1, sc in every stitch around. Slip stitch to join each round. (60 stitches each round)
Brim:
- Round 12: Chain 1, 1 dc in the next 4 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join. (72 stitches)
- Round 13: Chain 1, 1 dc in the next 5 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join. (84 stitches)
For a wider brim, continue increasing in the same pattern (increasing the number of single dc stitches between increases by one in each successive round).
- Finishing Round (Round 14): Chain 1, sc in every stitch around. Slip stitch to join. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Note: For a larger or smaller hat, adjust the diameter of the crown before working the side rounds, and adjust the number of rounds for the sides and brim as needed.
