200g of black Himalaya Pablo yarn (100% wool; 100m/100g);

Crochet hook 3.75.

Head Circumference: 52-54 cm.

Instructions

Make 23 chains. Work with single crochets through the back loop for better shape of the pattern. At first, make 1 square.

Pattern Rows:

1^st row: 11 single crochets, 3 single crochets together, 11 single crochets;

2^nd row: 10 single crochets, 3 single crochets together, 10 single crochets;

3^rd row: 9 single crochets, 3 single crochets together, 9 single crochets;

11^th row: 1 single crochet, 3 single crochets together, 1 single crochet;

12^th row: 3 single crochets together. You should get a square.

Creating the Hat Base:

Then, make the next square according to the scheme. You should have 6 squares in the 1^st row. While making the last square, join it to the set-up row of the 1^st square, forming a circular stripe in the ring. This is the base of your hat.

Make the next 2 rows in the same way. You should get a “tube” about 24 cm in height.

Making the Crown:

Then, make the crown. For this, make 66 single crochets along the upper edge of the last row. Then, work with turning rows with single crochets through the back loop, decreasing 6 stitches in every row (by means of making 2 single crochets together). Work this way until there are 6 stitches left.

Cut the yarn, tighten the remaining stitches with the end of the yarn, and fasten the yarn from the wrong side. Finally, fasten the edge of the hat with a “shrimp stitch.”
