I created this pattern for my brother but found the texture so lovely, I adapted the sizes to fit the whole family; men, women, and children.

Notes:
This pattern is worked from the brim to the crown. The brim is worked flat, while the body is worked in the round, without turning.
Beginning chain 1 is not counted as a stitch, while the beginning chain 2 is counted as the first double crochet throughout the pattern.

This hat will comfortably stretch up to 2 to 4”. The sizes are broken up in 2 different PDFs for simplicity. Newborn 0-6 months, Infant 6-12 months and Toddler 1-3 years are on one file. While, Child/Tween, Adult Small and Adult Large are on a separate file.

This is an intermediate pattern with tutorials to assist an advanced beginner.

Gauge:
8 sc x 8 rows of brim pattern, as written = 2” x 2”

For this pattern, you will need approximately 80-240yards of worsted weight yarn and a Pom Pom if desired (not recommended for newborns or infants).

The pattern is fun and works up quickly. You will want to make one for your whole family.

The newborn pattern will be free on my blog:
