PATTERN

Make a chain to the length of the hat height that you need. For baby Jack I made the chain 10 inches long
and chained 40.

(I haven't tested other sizes, but adding three inches to the measurement of the tip of the nose to the crown of the
head is a good guideline. This will make sure you have enough for the brim to fold up. If you want a slouchy
hat, add even more length to the base chain.)

Row 1: Beginning in the second chain from the hook, work 1 SL ST under the back loop. Work 1 SL ST
into each of the next 4 chains. SC into each chain to the end. CH 1 and turn.

Row 2: Work 1 SC into the back loop of each SC. Work 1 SL ST into the back loop of each of the
remaining 5 stitches. CH 1 and turn. (Keep your sl stitches loose, especially the last one before you chain
and turn.)

Row 3: Work 1 SL ST into the back loop of each SL ST. Work 1 SC into the back loop of each SC to the
end of the row. CH 1 and turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until the hat measures 3 inches less that the circumference of the head. For baby Jack
this was about 62 rows. He has a 17 inch head circumference.

End the last row on Row 2 instructions so the tail is at the top of the hat. Tie off leaving a long tail for
sewing.

Weave in and out of the top of the hat to gather close, then sew the two sides together. Tie off and weave in
the ends. Roll up the brim and attach label.
