For a medium-sized hat, stop increasing at round 5, which gives 60 stitches.

Always end on an increase row to prevent the brim from curling.

For the red bucket hat, make only three rows for the top and four rows of 36 stitches for the body.

For the red bucket hat, increase on every third stitch in the brim, with the last increase row giving 60 stitches.

The red bucket hat used a 9 mm crochet hook instead of the recommended 8 mm.
