    \ud83e\uddf5 Stitches Used<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Chain (ch)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Slip stitch (sl st)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Single crochet (sc)<\/strong>
      All stitches are beginner-friendly<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Make the Crown (Top of the Hat)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Start with a magic ring<\/strong> (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Crochet 6 single crochets<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Place a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Increase each round by evenly adding stitches:\n
          \n
        • Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12 stitches)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Round 3: 1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch<\/em> repeat around (18 stitches)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Round 4: 2 sc, 2 sc in next stitch<\/em> repeat around (24 stitches)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Continue increasing until the circle fits the top of your head (usually 6\u20137 inches wide).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udc49 Tip: Lay the circle flat\u2014if it curls, add more increases; if it waves, reduce increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 2: Build the Sides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Once the crown is wide enough, stop increasing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Crochet 1 sc in each stitch around<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Continue working in rounds to build the height of the hat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Try the hat on as you go. Stop when it reaches just above your ears.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \u23f1 This part goes quickly and gives the hat its bucket shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Step 3: Create the Brim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. To form the brim, start increasing again:\n
                \n
              • 2 sc in one stitch, 3 sc in the next stitches<\/em> repeat around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Continue increasing gradually in each round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Crochet 2\u20134 brim rounds depending on how wide you want it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udc49 For a firmer brim, use tighter stitches or a smaller hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Step 4: Finish Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Slip stitch to join the final round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Cut the yarn and pull through to secure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
