Notes

Ribbing Texture: The single crochet back loop only (sc blo) ribbing creates a stretchy, textured band that fits snugly around your head. Make sure to keep your tension even when working in the back loop to maintain a uniform ribbed effect.
Moss Stitch Variation: The moss stitch in this pattern alternates between chains and single crochets in the chain spaces (ch-1 sp). This gives the hat its beautiful texture. Pay close attention to the chain spaces and ensure you’re placing your single crochet in the correct spots to keep the pattern consistent.
Working in the Round: The hat is worked in continuous rounds, so there’s no need to join at the end of each round. Just be mindful of your stitch count to avoid any gaps or extra stitches forming as you go.
