We&#8217;ll work the brim in a continuous spiral for a seamless look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set Up the First Brim Round:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Join your yarn to any stitch on the bottom edge of the hat with a slip stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> into the <strong>back loop only (BLO)<\/strong> of each stitch around the entire bottom edge. This will create a nice, defined ridge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do NOT join with a slip stitch<\/strong>. This round should have 72 sc. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increase Rounds (for the flare):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round 2 (Increase):<\/strong> *Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into the next stitch.

This is the most crucial step for a professional and durable finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weave the tails along existing stitches on the inside of the hat, changing direction to lock them in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blocking (Optional but Recommended):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gently mist the hat with cool water until it is damp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the hat over a bowl or a small balloon to help it hold its dome shape, and lay the brim flat to dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow the hat to <strong>air dry completely and thoroughly<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!
