Cut Color A.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Continue Repeating Stripe Pattern:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repeat <strong>Rounds 9-12<\/strong> (alternating two rounds of Color B, then two rounds of Color A) until your hat measures approximately <strong>8-8.5 inches (20-21.5 cm) from the top center of the crown<\/strong> to the current edge. This will likely be around Round 17 or 18, ending with Color B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do NOT cut your yarn<\/strong> after the final body round. You&#8217;ll continue with the last color for the brim.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 3: The Brim<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll use single crochet for a firm and neat brim. Continue with the last color you used (e.g., <strong>Color B<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round (Brim 1):<\/strong> Ch 1 (does NOT count as a stitch). Sc in the same stitch as join. Sc in each st around. Sl st to the first sc to join. <strong>[80 sc]<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round (Brim 2):<\/strong> Ch 1. Sc in each st around. Sl st to the first sc to join. <strong>[80 sc]<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round (Brim 3):<\/strong> Ch 1. Sc in each st around. Sl st to the first sc to join. <strong>[80 sc]<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For a slightly wider brim, you can add one or two more rounds of single crochet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 4: Finishing Your Two-Color Hat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fasten Off:<\/strong> After completing your final brim round, cut your yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Yarn over and pull the tail completely through the loop on your hook to secure the last stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weave in All Ends:<\/strong> This is a crucial step for a professional and durable finish. Thread each yarn tail (from your Magic Ring, color changes, and final fasten-off) onto your yarn needle. Carefully weave them through several stitches on the inside of your hat, making them secure and invisible from the outside. Take your time with this step, especially with the color change tails, to ensure they don&#8217;t unravel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional: Blocking:<\/strong> Gently block your hat by either lightly misting it with water or dampening it, then shaping it over a bowl, balloon, or wig head to the desired size. Allow it to air dry completely. Blocking helps to even out stitches and set the shape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve done it! Your cozy and colorful <strong>two-color crochet hat<\/strong> is now complete.
