Hat
–
Round 1 –With
the larger hook, ch 3 (counts as first hdc + ch 1). Work 1 hdc + ch 1 evenly around the entire
band. This works out to 1 hdc for every
other row of the band. Join last ch 1
with a sl st to the ch 2 of your original ch 3. You should have 36 hdc’s,
including the first ch 3.
Rounds 2 to 10 –
Ch 3, hdc in first ch 1 space from previous row, then ch 1. *Skip 1 st, hdc in next ch 1 space, ch
1*. Repeat from * ending with a sl st to
ch 2 of the original ch 3 at beginning of round (36 hdc’s). Your work should measure approx. 5” from the
bottom of the band.
Tip: To
avoid a seam that creeps around and up the hat, try turning your work after
each round. So, just ch 3, turn and
proceed with the pattern instructions. All
you will be doing is just working in the opposite direction around. This is optional, but then you avoid getting
the curling seam all the way up.
