What size hook?
H hook for the brim and I for the hat base.
I soooo want to make this!!!
Totally lost at row 25 and after,when you start different captions {} x amount of times?
HELP
Just take it step by step… basically you will do 9 (sc,dc), sk st segments, then you will sc only in the next st, you will do all of this 3 times total around, then sk a st, (sc,dc) in next st twice and sk the last st and join. Try to read through the pattern so you get use to multiple repeat marks after you get it… it just takes practice
