My second Pang Hat - everyone wants one now! Beautiful easy pattern which gives a great canvas for tapestry crochet, and super warm for your head.

Started with 3.75 mm. hook to make hat larger for recipient.
Sc blo for whole hat.
Increased as per pattern to 132 st around.
Decreased to 128 st around at Row 32.
Finished hat body after Row 43.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brim: 2 rows in opposite direction (as per pattern).

Row 1: as written
Row 2: increased to 132 st around.
Row 18: decreased to 120 st around
Row 19: decreased to 109 st around

Decreased on the last 2 rows of the brim, as the brim was so tall. The decreases curved the brim closer to the curve of the crown of the hat.

Armenian inspired tapestry for the brim: 19 rows X 132 stitches. I tweaked the colour chart quite a bit - both to keep it to a maximum of 4 colours per row, and also to minimize the number of rows.

Made 6 strand round braid following this photo tutorial and video.
Fat tassel.
