Notes

Hat is worked top-down, in unjoined rounds, brim is applied once the hat body is finished.

Each round is worked in spiral fashion, without joining rounds. Use a stitch marker or scrap piece of yarn to mark the last stitch of each round so you won’t lose your place in the round.

Alterations to the pattern, yarn substitutions or working at a different tension may cause a difference in yardage amounts required.

Special Stitches

Puff Stitch (puff): Yarn over, insert hook in stitch indicated, yarn over, pull loop through, [yarn over, insert hook in same stitch, yarn over, pull loop through] twice, yarn over, pull through 7 loops on hook. It helps if you will turn the hook head down before trying to pull through the 7 loops. Note: Because there is a chain one after the puff, the next round will appear to have two stitches at the puff position. Don’t work into both of them. It doesn’t matter whether you choose to work into the top of the puff stitch or the chain after it. Just be consistent and don’t increase your stitch count by stitching into both of them.

Gauge

After round 7, approx. 5″
After round 10, approx. 6.25″
After round 12, approx. 7.5″
