Making the Granny Squares:

Create the Center:

Round 1:

Chain one, then put three double crochets into the ring.
Chain two, and put three more double crochets in the ring.
Repeat this sequence twice more to create four corners.

Seamless Color Change:

Start a half double crochet, then change colors by pulling the new yarn through the three loops on your hook.

Round 2:

Chain one, and put three double crochets in the next corner space.
Chain two to create a corner, then three double crochets in the same space.
Chain one, and put three double crochets in the next corner space.
Repeat this sequence around.

For Rounds 3 & 4:

Continue to expand the square, changing colors at the end of each round using the seamless method.
Chain one on the sides and chain two at the corners.

Finishing the Square:

After the fourth round, chain two and slip stitch in the first double crochet to finish.

Weave in Ends:

Weave in all ends to give a clean finish.

Make Five Squares:

Repeat the process to create a total of five granny squares.

Making the Pentagon:#

Follow the same method as the granny squares but add an additional side.

Round 1:

After the initial four sides, chain two and make another set of three double crochets.

Five Rounds:

The pentagon will have five rounds in total.

Connecting the Squares and Pentagon:

Arrange Squares:

Place two squares with the wrong sides together and connect them using single crochets.

Create a Circle:

Connect all five squares in a line, then join the ends to form a circle.

Attach Pentagon:

Attach the pentagon to the square circle, aligning the corners and connecting with single crochets.

Creating the Brim:

Round 1:

Attach yarn to any double crochet on the hat and make a slip stitch.
Chain one, and put a half-double crochet in the same space.
Continue with half double crochets all around.

Measure and Mark:

After slip stitching to close the round, count the number of half double crochet stitches and divide by three.
Place stitch markers at these intervals.

Ruffle Rounds:

Switch to a 6 mm crochet hook.
Chain two, and put three double crochets in the same space.
Put three double crochets in each stitch around, changing colors at each stitch marker.
