      \ud83e\ude84 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Start at the Top (Crown)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Make a magic ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Chain 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Work 10\u201312 half double crochet (hdc)<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Increase to Shape the Hat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        You will increase evenly to create a flat circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Round 2:<\/strong> 2 hdc in each stitch (20\u201324 stitches)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

        • Round 4:<\/strong> 2 hdc, 2 hdc in next stitch<\/em> repeat around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Continue increasing until the circle measures 16\u201318 cm (6\u20137 inches)<\/strong> in diameter for an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83e\udde2 Step 3: Crochet the Hat Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Stop increasing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Crochet 1 hdc in each stitch<\/strong> around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Continue working in rounds until the hat reaches the desired length:\n
              \n
            • About 18\u201320 cm (7\u20138 inches)<\/strong> for adults<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
