You can easily adapt the size of the hat, from newborn to adult, by making less/more rounds with increases for the crown.You can find an orientative chart for hat sizes by Bev' s Country Cottage.
Materials used:
- sport weight/ 5 ply cotton yarn; here used "Red Heart Miami" in 2 colors (approx. 70 g in main color A and small amount in color B)
- 3 mm crochet hook
- yarn needle to weave in the ends
Stitches and abbreviations used:
(US Terms)
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
blo: back loops only
tw sc: twisted single crochet (Check out my tutorial Twisted single crochet!)

The rounds are starting with a ch 1, that will not be counted as a stitch.
The first hdc will be made in the same stitch as the beginning ch1.
The joining at the end of the round will be made in the top of the first hdc, not in the beginning ch1.

The brim:
The brim it is worked with sc in back loops only. To avoid gaps, try to work the stitches not loosely; at the end of the rounds, work your last stitch picking together the back loop of the stitch and from the back side of your work a loop from previous round. Otherwise you will have gaps. You'll have 3 rounds with increases, each increase to 16 stitches.

(128 stitches )
