Step 1: Form the Crown

First, one should create a magic circle. Either work single crochet (SC) or double crochet (DC) in circles. Gradually increase stitches each round until the crown is to the size of diameter you desire.

Step 2: Shape the Body of the Hat

You make the sides without adding: crochet evenly around and continue until the body is as tall as you want.

Step 3: Create the Brim

Continue with the increases for the width you require on the brim. Work a couple more rounds, subject to how big you want it to be, telling you to measure width to your liking.

Step 4: Finish Off and Weave Ends

Last full stitch done, and snip the end of the yarn. With a tapestry needle, weave in the left-over ends.
