Instructions:
Ch 54. In the chain farthest from the hook, work a sl st.
Round 1: Ch 3 and work a dc in each chain. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 2: Ch 3 and work a fpdc (front post double crochet) in each dc. Join with a sl st to close round.
Round 3: Ch 2 and work a hdc in each st. Join with a sl st to close round.
Repeat round 3 until hat measures about 9 inches tall.
Decrease round 1: ch 1 and sc2tog in each st. Join with a sl st to close round.
Decrease round 2: Repeat round 1
Fasten off leaving a 12 inch tail.
Finishing and Assembly:
Turn hat inside out and thread tail at top of hat with a tapestry needle. Whip stitch the top of hat and pull tail snug to draw the top together. Fasten off with a secure knot or two. Weave in ends.

If you’d like to add a pom pom, you can make one yourself or you can put a faux fur pom pom on top like I did. For either pom pom, be sure you have two tails to tie it onto the hat. Tie to top of hat and weave both tails in. Here’s a helpful video if you need help attaching your hat.

Hi Jennifer–I am making this hat and where I join my round makes a seam of sorts that slants to the right. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you for all your patterns and videos. I feel confident when I crochet with you and I am willing to branch out and try new things with your videos to guide me. You taught me to crochet and I am so thankful!

Thanks for the pattern! Question, what is the beginning chain for a larger size? Thanks

You never say or have in the info what the yarn weight is. I am going to try to look up the product online and see if I can find it but it would be nice to have it listed when mentioning the yarn. New to crochet and this pattern is great for a beginner. Thank you.
