Wide Brim Hat

The Body of the Hat is worked in one piece from the top down in a spiral. When working in continuous rounds, place a marker in first stitch to indicate beginning of round. Move marker up on subsequent rounds. The Brim rounds are joined with an invisible slip stitch to create a jogless join for the striping section. Change colors in these rounds after working the invisible join. To change color, pick up new color and pull through loop on hook, pull tail of old color until old color loop disappears into invisible join. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Circumference: 19½ (21, 24)" Height: 6¼ (6¾, 7½)" Brim Depth: 12 (121/2, 131/4)" **MATERIALS** Premier® Yarns Raffia™ (100% Cellulose Rayon; 3.5oz/100g, 131yds/120m) • MC: 2166-02 Cream – 2 (3, 3) balls • CC: 2166-12 Deep Charcoal – 1 ball all sizes Hook: US Size G-6 (4 mm), or size needed to obtain gauge Notions: Tapestry needle, removable stitch marker **GAUGE** 16 sc x 16 rnds = 4” Save time, check your gauge. **SKILLS/TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS PATTERN:** • Chain and single crochet stitches. • Increasing. • Changing colors at invisible slip stitch join. • Joining with invisible slip stitches. • Reverse single crochet stitches. • Working in a continuous spiral. • Magic Ring.
