Hard-Brimmed Hat

Create your own crochet hat with a sturdy brim! This listing is for the pattern ONLY. The pattern will be delivered digitally, and there is no physical item included. You will receive 2 PDFs when purchasing this pattern. One is a full guide complete with pictures and tips to help you along in your hat making, and the other is a condensed version with just the written instructions. I recommend following the full version on your first hat as it offers a lot of helpful information. But the shorter version is great for subsequent hats and much easier on your printer! I love this pattern so much, and I put a lot of effort into it to make it as easy to understand as possible. I have included pictures that will help guide you through the more complex portions of the pattern, and I have written out the instructions line-by-line. The pattern also includes several tips on how to make the hat tighter or looser depending on your head circumference. For reference, the hat is designed to fit an adult head with 22-24 inch circumference. Matching gauge is critical to ensure a proper final fit, so please don't skip the gauge swatch! This pattern works up very quick and can be made in an afternoon if you have a few hours to sit and work on it. Note that to complete the pattern, you will need to have a plastic brim insert of a specific size. The pattern includes information on where to get brim inserts that will work. I hope you have fun making and wearing your crochet hats! I often get compliments on mine when I wear them out, so I am sure you will too :)
