              \ud83d\udc52 Step-by-Step Crochet Sun Hat Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udd39 Step 1: Crochet the Crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Round 1<\/strong>: Make a magic ring, ch 1, and work 6 sc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (6 sts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Round 2<\/strong>: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around. Join. (12 sts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Round 3<\/strong>: Ch 1, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st<\/em>, repeat around. Join. (18 sts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Round 4<\/strong>: Ch 1, 1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st<\/em>, repeat around. Join. (24 sts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Continue increasing in this manner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Round 5: 1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next<\/em> (30 sts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Round 6: 1 sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next<\/em> (36 sts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • …until your crown circle reaches your target diameter<\/strong> (usually 6.5″ to 7.5″ for adults)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of rounds if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udd39 Step 2: Work the Sides (Hat Body)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Now that you\u2019ve built the crown to size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Rounds 1\u20138 (or until desired depth)<\/strong>: Ch 1, 1 sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st at the end of each round.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  This forms the straight sides of the hat. You can try it on and add\/remove rounds to get your preferred depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Optional: Switch to half double crochet (hdc)<\/strong> if you want the hat to be slightly more airy or stretchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  \ud83d\udd39 Step 3: Add the Brim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  You\u2019ll begin increasing again to flare out the brim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Round 1<\/strong>: 1 sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st<\/em>, repeat around. Join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Round 2<\/strong>: 1 sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next<\/em>, repeat around. Join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Round 3<\/strong>: 1 sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in next<\/em>, repeat around. Join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Continue in this way, increasing one more stitch between increases each round, until the brim is as wide as you\u2019d like (typically 2\u20134 inches wide for a sun hat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \ud83d\udca1 Optional brim options<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n

                  • Finish with a round of slip stitches<\/strong> or reverse single crochet (crab stitch)<\/strong> for a polished edge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
