hi Pinky, quick question.. once I'm done w/ rows 7-8 do i continue ALL AROUND on just 1-hdc? and if so do I always have to combine each row w/ a SS, followed by 1-over & THEN continue the pattern of 1-hdc?? confused cuz your 3rd tutorial just showed row 7 .. =(

[Pinky2D4]

Rnd 8 [in same color] 1hdc in next 7 sts, 2 hdc in next st. (1 hdc in next 8 sts, 2 hdc in next st)* join with ss, ch.1 78 sts.

Rnds 9-12 same as rnd 8. [You can keep solid color or change colors as you wish. This creates the (bend) or floppy part of your hat. 3 to 5 rows of this is recommended depending on how wide you want your hat to be.] 86,94,102,110 sts.

Hi,

Question!!! Why do my hat have waves? it does not stay flat like yours! Thanks

[Pinky2D4]

I'm sorry im soooo late with this comment! Try making your stiches a bit loose and not so tight, that may help. Experiment with how tight and loose you make them to see what works for you and your own crochet style.

[bcskate34]

is there a way you can add a bill to these hats.

[Pinky2D4]

Yes, but I do not have a non-copyrighted pattern for a bill to demonstrate it for you. Sorry. But if you google crochet patterns I'm sure you can find one and add it. Try crochetpatterncentral (dot) com.

Hey Pinky...whats up. Great tutorial! Just a lil problem...with Row 17, when u do 1hdc next 7 st 1 hdc dec in next 2 st (1 hdc in next 8 st, 1 hdc dec in next 2 sts). when i go to row 18, is it 1hdc in next 6 st 1 hdc dec in next 2 st (1 hdc in next 7 st 1 hdc dec in next 2 st? im worried that its not going to decrease to the extent like yours.

[Pinky2D4]

Now you're confusing me, lol where did you get 9 to 12 rows? It's row's numbered 9 thru 12 which = 3 rows total. perhaps 6as stated in the video for a longer hat. That would make it rows 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 for a long hat only. Yes rows and rounds are the same thing. I think what you are missing is the fact that the instructions for the original row REPEATS through the additional ones meaning you do the same combination of stitches as listed for each row/round listed.
