Notes

I took a couple of patterns I found on line, took what I liked about those patterns and made my own.

Other Materials
19 gauge millinery wire for hats

Notes
• Chain (Ch) 2 does not count as stitch.
• I used the Invisible Slip Stitch Join to prevent the seam from forming.

Rnd 30 : Over lap wire about 2-3” from beginning to end, Sc wire around to attach to hat like a tail.
Rnd 31 : I did a slip stitch for the last round. Could do a Crab Stitch instead.

I got as far as Rnd 30 but have to wait for wire to come from Amazon to add to brim so I will put project to the side until I receive the wire. (Saturday, April 8, 2023).
Received wire today (Tuesday, April 11, 2023) and finished hat.
