        Step 2: Crochet the Top (Crown)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Chain 2 (this counts as the first stitch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Work 10\u201312 double crochets<\/strong> into the ring<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          To make the circle grow, you\u2019ll increase stitches each round<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Round 2: 2 double crochets in each stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Stop increasing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Crochet one double crochet in each stitch around<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Continue working in rounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              This is where the hat starts to take shape and grow downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Step 5: Finish the Hat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
