Hat Pattern

2. Row 1: SL ST into the second chain from the hook and into the next 4 chains. HDC into each remaining chain. CH 1 and turn.
3. Row 2:
   • HDC into the first St.
   • Work Back Loop: HDC into each of the next 14 sts (mark the 15th st).
   • Repeat Pattern: Work 1 Front Loop HDC into the next st, 1 Back Loop HDC into the next st. Repeat this pattern in each HDC.
   • Work Back Loop SL ST into each of the remaining 5 sts. CH 1 and turn.
   • Tip: Mark the last Back Loop HDC (15th st) to distinguish between the brim and the mixed loop section.
4. Row 3:
   • Back Loop SL ST into each of the first 5 sts.
   • Work 1 Front Loop HDC into the next st, 1 Back Loop HDC into the next st. Repeat from * to the marked st.
   • Back Loop HDC into each of the remaining sts. CH 1 and turn.
5. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until 41 rows or the piece measures 3 inches less than the required head circumference.
6. Closing: For the last row, end at the brim. Tie off with a long tail for sewing. Fold the hat, aligning the starting chain row with the final row. Use the tapestry needle to sew by going under loops of HDC and loops of starting chain. At the top, weave the needle through the top loops of the slip stitches several times to cinch it in. Secure the weave and fold up the brim.

For sizes smaller than 6 months, adjust the slip stitches to 3 and the brim to 3 inches.
