Stiff brim without the use of wire or starch! Hat is designed so the structure itself keeps it in shape. The pattern has instructions for sizes Newborn, Baby, Toddler, Boys, Teen, Men's Medium, Men's Large, Men's X Large, Men's XXL. Medium Worsted Weight Yarn, #4 on the label, is required in either cotton or wool [ Aran Weight for Britain or 10 ply for Australia ] and a 4 mm crochet hook [ for US G/6 - for Britain 8 ]. The crown is shaped rounded at the back and pointed at the front. Works beautifully in either cotton or wool. Rayon is not recommended as it does not hold it's shape very well.
Pattern is not for a beginner, the pattern calls for a lot of increases and the use of the FPSC stitch therefore may overwhelm those unaccustomed to working anything other than a simple beanie. If you have made a hat working in the round before, know how to work a FPSC, then you should find this quite easy. 99% of work is in Single Crochet, plus a few rounds of FPSC which is clearly explained for those that do not know this stitch but want to try to tackle it. Check out the film clip at the bottom of my shop page to see How to Front Post Single Crochet.
There is a video available on working the crown. Please message me to ask for it.
Pattern is written in English and using standard American terms. Color coded instructions and lots of photographs to guide you and as always, if you encounter a problem, just contact me and I will be happy to help.
