An afternoon's crochet on a size N hook.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 4-page PDF in \u003cstrong\u003eUS crochet terms\u003c\/strong\u003e. The whole hat is single crochet worked in unjoined spirals, so there are no joins and no turning. What gives it the shape is the pacing of the increases: a handful of plain rounds at the very tip to keep the point sharp, then single increases spaced further and further apart as the crown lengthens, so it tapers slowly rather than ballooning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe brim trick\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound 31 is worked \u003cstrong\u003einto the front loops only\u003c\/strong\u003e. That one round leaves a raised ridge running right around the hat where the crown ends, and the brim then grows outward from it in seven rounds of increases. It is the detail that makes the hat look deliberate rather than homemade — a clean architectural line between crown and brim, from a single change of where you put your hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing and shaping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten as one size, with a note on where to keep increasing if you want it bigger.
