Your finished hat will measure approximately 10.5″ long and 21″ in circumference. It will stretch to 24″ circumference.

This pattern is worked as a flat piece and sewn together to finish the hat shape. You will need to understand how to make a drawstring closure to shape the top of the hat.

You may use any method to stitch up the side. I prefer using a darning needle and weaving in and out of the stitches for a less obvious seam.

You may change the measurements of this hat quite easily. The length of the foundation chain will be equal to the height of the hat (minus a half inch for the closure). You can make a slouchy style hat by increasing the length of your foundation chain. There is no need to work in a specific multiple. Work with however many stitches you need to get the length you want.

The height of the flat piece, that is how many rows you make, will be equal to the circumference. You can make the hat smaller by making fewer rows and larger by making more.
