Notes

When working a 2 color version, color in the starting chain uses slightly less yarn and is NOT the “petals” on top of the hat. I’ve indicated P or B with the row# if it was a Pink or Blue worked row. I choose to work first/last stitch in each row into both loops as a personal preference, it makes no visual difference to the finished hat, all other stitches into back loop as in La Mar pattern. These instructions are only for short-row crown instead of gathered crown, purchase of pattern is still required.

Starting chain 62

1B: 61 BLOSS, (drop color and pickup other color in the last stitch of all odd rows) ch1 & turn

2P: (and all even rows) decrease in first stitch, BLOSS to the end of row, ch1 & turn {60}

3P: 10 stitch brim, 5 repeats, ch1 & turn {60}

5B: 15 stitch brim, 4 repeats, in 4 remaining stitches work SC, 3SS, ch1 & turn {59}

7P: without decrease, otherwise as even row {58}

9B: 15 stitch brim, 4 repeats, in 2 remaining stitches work 2SS, ch1 & turn {57}

11P: 10 stitch brim, 4 repeats, in 6 remaining stitches work SC, HDC, SC, 3SS, ch1 & turn {56}

13B: as row 7 {55}

15P: 10 stitch brim, otherwise as row 5 {54}

17B: 15 stitch brim, 3 repeats, in 8 remaining stitches work SC, HDC, DC, HDC, SC, 3SS, ch1 & turn {53}

19P: as row 7 {52}

21B: 15 stitch brim, 3 repeats, end as in row 11 {51}

23P: 10 stitch brim, 4 repeats, ch1 & turn {50}

25B: as row 7 {49}

27P: 10 stitch brim, 3 repeats, end as in row 17 {48}

29B: 15 stitch brim, 3 repeats, end as in row 9 {47}

31P: as row 7 {46}

33B: 15 stitch brim, 3 repeats, ch1 & turn {45}

35P: 10 stitch brim, 3 repeats, in 4 remaining stitches work SC, 3SS {44 so far} work an additional 18SS into turning chains along the sides of previous rows, carrying 1st color yarn as well so it’s at the end of this row for the next color change, ch1 & turn {62}

This completes 1 of 5 total wedges. If you have concerns about dimensions or having enough yarn, weigh/measure at this point. After final time thru row 35 seam as desired.
