Tips

• To check your gauge, crochet a swatch that is at least 12 cm by 12 cm. This will ensure your hat turns out the correct size.
• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round, especially if you are not joining with a slip stitch.
• For a stiffer brim, you can insert millinery wire into the last round or use a double strand of yarn for the brim section.
