Special stitches used: front post double crochet (fpdc)

Front and back post crochet stitches are used to create wonderful texture in crochet. Instead of making your stitch through the loops at the top of the stitch, you make it around the stitch. Everything else stays the same. The most challenging things about crochet post stitches are knowing where and how to insert the hook. There are front post stitches and back post stitches.

For front post double crochet stitches (fpdc): yarn over, insert your hook from front to back then from back to front around post of stitch indicated, yarn over, pull through stitch, then finish your double crochet as normal, yarn over, pull through 2 lps, yarn over, pull through last 2 lps

SC2TOG / FPDC2TOG instructions: The TOG crochet abbreviation is simply shorthand for “together,” while the beginning determines the type of stitch. In this case, SC2 stands for “single crochet two" and FPDC2 stands for "front post double crochet two"

How to decrease with sc2tog: Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull yarn through loop (2 loops on hook). Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull yarn through loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook

How to decrease with fpdc2tog: yarn over and pull up a loop around next st, inserting hook from front to back and from back to front. Yarn over and pull up a loop through 2 loops on hook. Skipp next sc. Yarn over and pull up a loop around next st, inserting hook from front to back and from back to front. Yarn over and pull up a loop through 2 loops on hook. Yarn over and pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.

BRIM

With your yarn and hook, work in rows, loosely.

I would recommend you to use a stitch marker, to divide the number of stitches in the last row in half and place a stitch marker on that stitch in half of the last row of the hat.

When you finish new row, remove marker from previous row and replace on the beginning and on the end of stitches just finished row.

R1: ch1, 1sc in each st around (60 st)

R2: ch1, 1sc in next 30 st, turn (30 st)

R3: ch1, sc2tog, 1sc in next st across, till 2 st left, sc2tog, turn (28 st)

R4: ch1, sc2tog, 1sc in next st across, till 2 st left, sc2tog, turn (26 st)

R5: Repeat R4 (24 st)

R6: ch1, 1sc in each st across (24 st)

SLIP STICH BORDER

Turn your work and make a slip stitch border around the hat from the brim corner to next brim corner. Work slip stitch in each stitch around.

Sl stitch in each st around the hat.
Sl stitch in each single crochet in last row of the hat: sl st in each st in R25 till end of row, turn your work and one more row: sl st in each st in row R25.

Cut the yarn, weave in the ends.

Optionally: Add 2 buttons of your choice

End off yarn, weave in ends. Turn your hat the right side out and smooth down.

You are all done with your amazing CROCHET NEWSBOY HAT!
