Note on Crochet Technique
I am finding that I don't make my granny squares like most of you do. The below pattern is the way I make mine. If you choose to put the ch 1 in between the 3 dcs space, I am sure the pattern will still come out correct.

Sewing the Hat
The 5 round granny square will be on the top of the hat. You will attach one of the 4 squares to each side of the granny square, making sure that the added rows are on the sides of the 5 round granny square. Sew each side piece to each other. I sewed all pieces with wrong sides together and in the back loops only.
For the bottom of the hat, attach yarn in any space and work hdc evenly around the bottom of the hat. Fasten off.
