📌 Before You Begin

💡

This hat is worked from the bottom up in joined rounds for the ribbed brim, then in continuous spiral rounds for the body.

💡

Do not join rounds unless specified. Use a stitch marker to track beginning of rounds. To transition from joined rounds to spiral rounds at Round 9: do not slip stitch to join; instead, place marker in first stitch of Round 9 and continue working in spiral, moving marker up each round.

💡

The ribbed brim is worked in BLO to create vertical ribbing texture.

💡

Adjust hook size if needed to match gauge for proper fit.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 175 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, dc 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 "15 sc x 16 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. Reshape and lay flat to dry on a towel. Do not tumble dry. If needed, steam lightly to refresh. Store flat or loosely folded. 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.
