Pattern Notes
This hat is made in rows and then “drawn” together with a drawstring effect when the body is complete. So keep that in mind if things look “off” you will want to keep going!
When “seaming” up the side, be sure to go into the back loop to continue the ribbed effect.
Instructions are for adult size - approx. 21” brim.
Instructions
Row Instructions
Row 1: 26 fsc, Turn.
Row 2: Ch 1 (does NOT act as a st), 21 sc across in the back loop only, sl st in the back loop only for the remaining 5 fsc, TURN.
Row 3: Ch 1 (does NOT act as a st), 26 sc across in the back loop only, TURN.
Repeat Rows 2-3 to about 18” at the bottom of the wider side.
Be sure to END ON A ROW 3.
Fasten off leaving an extremely long tail (about 20 inches).
Finishing & Assembly
Place the body flat so that the ribbed rows are lengthwise.
Using a tapestry needle, seam the sides together using the back loops ONLY until you reach the top.
Using the same remaining tail, thread back and forth across the top of the open hat peak then pull tight to close.
Fasten off, weave in end.
