      \ud83c\udfa9 HAT CONSTRUCTION: TOP-DOWN METHOD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We\u2019ll work in the round<\/strong>, starting from the crown and increasing outward to the desired width, then working evenly for height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83e\udea1 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udd01 STEP 1: START THE CROWN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Round 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Make a magic ring<\/strong>, ch 1, and place 10 hdc<\/strong> inside the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Pull tight and join with sl st<\/strong> to the first hdc. (10 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Round 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Ch 1, 2 hdc in each stitch around<\/strong>. Join with sl st. (20 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Round 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Ch 1, (1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next)<\/em> repeat around. Join. (30 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Round 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Ch 1, (1 hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next)<\/em> repeat around. Join. (40 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udc49 Continue increasing by adding 1 more stitch between increases in each round until you reach the number of stitches needed for your desired head circumference<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83e\udde0 HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT STITCH COUNT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Measure the flat circle diameter<\/strong> to estimate the circumference using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Circumference \u2248 Diameter \u00d7 3.14 (\u03c0)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • A 6.5″ flat circle = 6.5 \u00d7 3.14 \u2248 20.4″ hat circumference (good for toddlers\/child)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Use a measuring tape or stitch gauge to monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83e\uddf5 STEP 2: STOP INCREASING (ONCE SIZE IS REACHED)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Once your flat circle reaches the desired width<\/strong>, stop increasing. Now work even rounds<\/strong> (1 hdc in each stitch) to build height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83e\uddf6 STEP 3: BUILD THE BODY OF THE HAT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Rounds X to Y:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Ch 1, hdc in each stitch around<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Join with sl st<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Repeat until the hat reaches the desired height<\/strong> (see chart above)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  \ud83d\udd1a STEP 4: FINISH OFF<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Fasten off yarn<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Weave in all ends with a yarn needle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Optional: Add a ribbed band or brim (see below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
