Same as my Sparkle Ruby Slouch, this hat is worked sideways in rows, back and forth, then seamed together at the back with an almost invisible seam.
The height of the hat will be determined by the length of the foundation chain and the hat circumference will be given by the number of rows. You will not need to make any increases or decreases, the hat crown will be formed with the help of the shorter stitches: sc and sl st worked into the back loops.

This hat pattern is not very hard to crochet, you will only have 4 rows repeats, but before you start working on the hat, be sure to understand how to crochet the special stitches used.

Please check out my STEP BY STEP PICTURE TUTORIALS for the Crossed Stitches used in the Go with the Flow Scarf&and theRibbing worked with the Yarn over- slip stitch back loops only!
