This is the first hat I created and made it 3 times before it came out the way my minds eye seen it.
I seen a how to for the loops and thought wow I need a hat using that. And created this pattern. My hat is 38 rows around and is 8 inches tall with the brim. This is worked flat then seamed closed, with the closing of the hat added then the brim is done. Here is a link for the loops how to that I used: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/559150109977927692/
