        Simple Pattern Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        We will use a half double crochet (hdc) stitch in rounds<\/strong>, starting from the top of the hat. This is quick, looks neat, and is very beginner-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1: Start the Crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Make a\u00a0magic ring<\/strong>\u00a0(or chain 4 and join to form a ring)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Chain 2 (counts as first hdc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Work\u00a010 hdc<\/strong>\u00a0into the ring<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Join with slip stitch to the top of the first chain 2
          Total: 10 stitches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Step 2: Round 2 \u2013 Increase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Chain 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Work\u00a02 hdc in each stitch<\/strong>\u00a0around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Join with slip stitch
            Total: 20 stitches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            Step 3: Round 3 \u2013 Continue Increasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Chain 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • 1 hdc in first stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Join with slip stitch
              Total: 30 stitches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              Step 4: Round 4 \u2013 Final Increase for Crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Chain 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • 2 hdc, 2 hdc in next stitch<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Repeat around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Join with slip stitch
                Total: 40 stitches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                \u00a0The top of the hat should now be flat and round.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Step 5: Build the Hat Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Chain 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Work\u00a01 hdc in each stitch<\/strong>\u00a0around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Repeat this round until the hat measures\u00a07\u20138 inches<\/strong>\u00a0from the top (or desired length)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  \u00a0Try it on as you go to check the fit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  Step 6: Finish the Hat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Cut yarn, leaving a short tail<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Pull through the last stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    \u00a0Your simple crochet hat is done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n\n\n\n
