NOTES
- Ch3 is considered a double crochet stitch; always join to the top of the ch3.
- Ch1 is not a stitch; work your first stitch into the same stitch after your turn; join to the top of the sc skipping the ch1.
- Work through both loops of first and last stitch of each row in the headband portion of the piece to make a stronger piece. Then work in BLO in the remaining stitches.
- The hat is worked from the bottom up.
- The headband is worked in rows, and then joined to seam. Your band will look askew when crocheting it; it will lean towards one side. Once the body is attached, it will still look slightly askew BUT it won’t affect how you wear the hat.
- When seaming, use the slipstitch method. You will bring the right sides together to join with a sl st seam. After seaming, turn headband right side out and proceed with the body of the hat. DO NOT FASTEN OFF; you will continue using the same yarn to work the body of the hat.
- When making the first round of body of hat, you will work into the side/post stitches of the band of the hat. This will be defined as “post of the st” in pattern instructions.
