Mrs R. (Tasmania) asks for the pattern of a crochet hat in wool with a narrow brim. The one pictured is made of double wool with a No. 1 steel hook; it takes 5 ounces of wool.

A buckram shape is required: if dark wool be used, a black shape; if light wool, a white shape. The pattern may have to be modified for a particular shape, that can be judged as the work proceeds.
