You can make this hat all in one color or change the color of the brim. I have included a link to a video that explains how to add a brim to a hat that is made from top to bottom. You need to have a good knowledge on how to make the front post double crochet. I would consider this a beginner pattern as it contains simple stitches. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your purchase :)
