Here is a new hat pattern. It started with the white one and ended up with the floppy brim. It is that easy to add on to a pattern.
Baby pompador yarn by Red Heart. Size G Crochet Hook.
Row 1: Ch 4 and join. Ch 3, counts as 1 dc, 11 dc in circle. Join in top of ch 3. I have learned to work over the tail and you can pull the tail and make open circle smaller.
Row 2: Ch 3, 1 dc in same space, 2 dc in each st around, join in top of ch 3. 24 dc.
Row 3: Ch 3, 1 dc in same st, *1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st*, repeat around. 36 dc.
Row 4: Ch 3, 1 dc in same st, ch 1, 2 dc in same space. *Skip 2 spaces, 2 dc ch1, 2 dc in next st* Repeat around, Join. 12 shells.
Row 5 to 8: Ch 1, sl st to ch 1 space, ch 3, dc, ch 1, 2 dc in same space. *In next ch 1 sp, 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc around. Join.
Row 9: Ch 1, sc in each st around, use contrasting color if wanted.
If continuing for brim:
Row 1 for brim: Ch 3, 1 dc in same space, *1 dc in next sp, 2 dc in next sp* around. Join.
Row 2: Ch 3, 1 dc in same space. *1 dc in next 2 sp, 2 dc in next* around. Join. Trim with 1 sc in each st around.
This is really a simple hat to work up. Add a flower to the top or side. Isn't this fun.
Have a good one....Nan
