The hat is worked from bottom up. The band is crocheted in rows equal to the circumference of the hat and then seamed. The hat is then worked in the round.

The sizing of this pattern fits teens to small adults.

Finished measurements are as follows: Hat Body – 10” tall x 9.5” wide, Brim – 18” circumference.

I have used Lion Brand Heartland. Be sure to check your gauge if using any other kind.

I use a smaller hook size for the band of the hat to ensure a snug fit. If you wish to have a looser fit, then the US I/9 5.50mm crochet hook can be used for the entire project.

Beginning chains DO NOT count as a stitch.

This project uses crochet cables. Detailed progress photos for working these cables are included in the pattern. There are also links throughout the pattern that will lead to stitch videos on my blog if further assistance is needed.
