Wow this project was easy!
The pattern is easy to follow and I give big thumbs up to the Blue Crab for making a great pattern.
I added an additional three rows, one to increase the size to fit a bigger head, one to make the body of the hat longer (as the circumference now changed) and one extra brim row.
On the first row of the brim, I put the hdc stitches only in the front loop, so that the brim would stick out a bit from the cap itself.
My hat is bigger than the original pattern.
I hope my friend likes it!
