Basic Crochet Hat Pattern

Various crochet hats – baby, child and adult sizes.  I made up my own patterns as I went along.

Baby hat with turn up brim
Start with a magic ring, use any number of double crochet stitches
Double crochet an approx 17cm circle (make larger circle for child’s or adult’s hat) Increase as needed to keep the circle flat
Decrease all the way around circle
Several more rows of double crochet make the sides of the hat
Continue with double crochet enough to turn up

These hats were donated to the Queensland Flood Appeal
