Materials Needed:

4 ply medium weight yarn in two colors of your choice (e.g., red and white)
5 mm crochet hook

Pattern:

Foundation and Brim:

Start with a Slip Knot:

Create a slip knot to begin.

Chain Stitches:

Chain 72 stitches for an adult size. Ensure there are no twists in your chain.

Join to Form a Circle:

Use a slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.

Row 1 (Setup Row):

Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch). Double crochet into each chain around. Slip stitch to the first double crochet to join.

Creating the Brim:

Row 2 - Brim Start:

Chain 1 (doesn't count as a stitch). Front post double crochet in the first stitch, then back post double crochet in the next. Repeat - around. Join with a slip stitch.

Rows 3 to 7:

Repeat Row 2 for a total of 5 to 6 rows, depending on desired brim width.

Body of the Hat:

Row 8:

Chain 1, in the same space make a double crochet and two more double crochets in the same stitch (3 double crochets in the same stitch). Skip two stitches, then make 3 double crochets in the next stitch. Repeat - around. Join with a slip stitch.

Change Color:

In the last stitch of Row 8, start the third double crochet. Before completing, change to your second color yarn to complete the stitch.

Row 9:

With new color, chain 1, turn work and make 3 double crochets in the space below. Alternate colors between segments as done previously.

Row 10 - Only in Second Color:

Chain 1, make 3 double crochets in each space around. Do not alternate colors. Join with a slip stitch.

Repeating Pattern:

Repeat Rows 8-10:

Continue repeating these rows, following the color changing pattern until the piece measures the desired length.

Decrease for Top Closure:

Closing Row:

Change the pattern to decrease by making only 2 double crochets in each space instead of 3. This starts to close the top of the hat.

Final Row:

After a full round of decrease, cut the yarn leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through a yarn needle.

Drawstring Closure:

Weave the yarn tail in and out of the stitches of the last row and pull to tighten, closing up the top of the hat. Secure the end and weave in any remaining tails.
