My hat is measuring approx 5 inches long and I am ready to do the hat edge. In saying that, I think the hat looks pretty ending on a shell stitch row. You can choose to finish on a shell stitch row at the desired length of the hat you need (just continue pattern sequence), or use the following instructions for a simple rib edging for the hat.

Begin Hat Edge (Reduce Hook Size)

Row 1: ch 2, work 2 sc in same space as join, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, *work 1 dc in the sc, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, work 1 hdc in the ch 3 space, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc,* repeat from *to* to end, work 1 dc in the final sc of this round, sl st to the top of the ch 2 (54 stitches + 1 ch 2, if you started with 56 hdc’s).

Once again, you can finish your hat here or go on to the next rounds.

Row 2: ch 2, *work 1 dc in next stitch, work 1 fpdc around the next stitch*, repeat from *to* to end, sl st into top of ch 2

My hat is long enough now, but if you want yours longer,

repeat row 2

I am going to finish off my hat with 1 more row.

By working 1 ch, then 1 hdc in each stitch of the round, sl st to join, finish off and weave in ends.

(This last hdc row can prevent curling/stretching of the hat edge).
