PATTERN & SIZING NOTES:

• This crochet bucket hat is worked in one continuous spiral from top to bottom, no seaming.
• You can use a magic circle to start at the top of the hat, or CH 4, SL ST in to the first CH and SC your first round in to this circle you created (you can tighten this circle up when you weave your ends in)
• You must know single crochet, single crochet in the back loop, working a circle (increasing).
• To keep the top circle part of the hat from becoming hexagonal (as happens with increases) you can stagger where you place the increases in each round to create more of a circle – IF YOU’RE A BEGINNER and don’t quite have the understanding of the principle of making a circle and how to manipulate it by staggering the increases in a round, you can still make it at written below.
• For the portion of this crochet bucket hat, you can loosen your tension a little from the rest of the hat – it shouldn’t make it flimsy, if anything, it should help it maintain its shape better. Use your judgment on this tension.
• You can personalize this hat by making & add your own band or appliqué to make or you can lengthen the brim of the hat.
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the row
