📌 Before You Begin

💡

The ribbed brim is worked flat in rows, then joined into a ring

💡

The body and crown are worked in continuous spiral rounds

💡

Do not join rounds unless specified; use a stitch marker to track beginning of round

💡

Hat has negative ease and will stretch to fit

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Working in back loops only creates the ribbed texture. Stretch brim gently as you work to check length.

Row 1

Ch 12. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (11 sc)
Rows 2-80

Ch 1, turn. Working in BLO, sc in each st across. (11 sc) Repeat this row until you have 80 rows total or piece measures approximately 20 inches long when slightly stretched.
Joining

Fold brim so first and last rows meet. Sl st through both layers across to join into a ring. Do not fasten off.

Row counter:

💡 Tip: To check fit, try on hat after Round 15. Hat should reach past the ears.

Round 1

Ch 1, work 80 sc evenly spaced along top edge of ribbed brim (working into side edges of rows, approximately 1 sc per row). Place marker at beginning of round. (80 sc)
Rounds 2-25

Sc in each st around. (80 sc) Continue working even until hat measures approximately 6.5 inches from top of brim.

Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Thread the yarn tail onto a yarn needle. Weave the needle through the remaining 8 stitches at the crown opening, going around the circle. Pull tight to close the hole completely. Weave the needle through several stitches on the wrong side to secure, then trim excess yarn. Weave in all remaining ends. Turn hat right side out if needed. Block lightly by dampening and placing on a dinner plate or balloon to shape, allowing to air dry completely.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 180 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.

This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, sc, hdc, BLO and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.

Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.

For this pattern, gauge is "16 sc x 18 rows = 4 inches in single crochet". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry on a towel, reshaping as needed. Do not bleach. If using acrylic yarn, machine washing on gentle cycle is acceptable. For wool blends, dry cleaning is optional. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.

Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
