About

This crochet project is made entirely in one piece. It starts with a circle, followed by the ribbed rows and finally ending with the hat flares. The pattern will include stitch counts for the circle and ribbed rows. It will also include step-by-step pictures for the more complex parts as well as instructions on how to make the hat bigger. Have fun!
