Make a hat to fit any size head and use any yarn.
Suggestion: First make a hat for yourself using bulky weight yarn.
Make Rounds of the Basic Double Crochet Circle Pattern until it measures the suggested Crochet Hat Circumference listed below.
Following Rnds: Ch 3, dc in each dc around; join.
After doing a few Rnds fit piece on your head to check size.
If it was too small pull back to the last increase Rnd.
Do another increase Rnd using the Basic Double Crochet Circle Pattern.
If it was too big, pull back to Rnd before last increase Rnd.
Delete the last increase Rnd or reduce the number of stitches in the last increase Rnd.
When you’ve reached the desired length finish off or sl st around to reduce stretching.
You can continue adding Rnds for a cuff.
