Step-by-Step Pattern

Foundation Chain
Chain 45 for the hat height (adjust as desired for a smaller or larger hat).
First Row: Half Double Crochet (HDC)
- Make 2 extra chains (these act as the first stitch).
- Yarn over, insert hook in the 4th chain from the hook.
- Complete a half double crochet.
- Continue HDC across. (You will have 46 stitches including the starting chains).
Second Row: Slipped Half Double Crochet
- Chain 1, turn.
- Work into the back loop only:
  - Insert hook in the back loop of the first stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop.
  - Without yarning over, pull the hook through both loops on the hook (slipped HDC).
  - Repeat across the row.
Third Row: Regular Half Double Crochet
- Chain 1, turn.
- Yarn over, insert hook into the back loop of each stitch, HDC across.
Repeat Rows Two and Three
- Alternate slipped half double crochet and HDC rows, always working in back loops ONLY.
- Continue until your fabric reaches the circumference of the head (e.g., 66 rows for an adult, more or less for different sizes).
Seaming
- Fold the piece so short edges meet.
- With a yarn needle, join the first and last rows using slip stitch, working in back loops only for a seamless finish.
Closing the Crown
- Leave a long tail at the top.
- Thread the yarn through a needle and weave in and out around the top edge of the tube.
- Pull tight to cinch closed and secure with a knot.
- Make a few stitches across the opening to fasten off securely.
Finishing
- Weave in all ends.
- Optional: Attach a pom-pom to the top for extra charm.

Tutor’s Suggestions & Uses

Custom sizing: Measure the head and adjust the number of rows for a snug or slouchy fit.
Versatile look: Leave it plain for minimal style or add a pom-pom for fun.

Tip

To achieve an even, professional seam, always work the slip stitches through the back loops only on both edges when joining. This helps hide the seam and continues the ribbed appearance.
