HAT
Starting at top with A, ch 3. Join with slip st to form ring. Rnd 1 Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 11 dc in ring, join with slip st in top of beg ch – 12 dc. Rnd 2 Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each dc around, join with slip st in top of beg ch – 24 sts. Rnd 3 Ch 1, sc in first 2 dc, [skip 2 dc, 7 dc in sp between last skipped dc and next dc (shell made), skip 2 dc, sc in next dc] around, end change to B and join with slip st in top of beg sc – 4 shells. NOTE From this point on, work in BACK LOOPS ONLY unless otherwise noted. Rnd 4 Ch 1, sc in first sc, [skip 2 sts, 7 dc in next st, skip 2 sts, sc in next st] around, join with slip st in top of beg sc – 6 shells. Fasten off B. Rnd 5 With A, repeat Rnd 4, this time ending last repeat with shell; join with slip st in top of beg sc. Fasten off A – 8 shells. Rnd 6 Join and draw up B in back loop of 4th dc of next shell, *ch 1, sc in same sp, [skip 3 dc, 7 dc in next sc**, skip 3 dc, sc in back loop of next dc] around, ending at **. Join with slip st in top of beg sc. Fasten off B – 8 shells. Rnd 7 Join A and work from * and end at ** of Rnd 6. Skip 3 dc, join with slip st in top of beg sc, fasten off – 8 shells. Rnds 8-10 Repeat Rnd 7, alternating A and B every rnd. Rnd 11 Join A in back loop of 4th dc of next shell, *ch 1, sc in same sp, [skip 2 sts, 7 dc in back loop of next st, skip 2 sts**, sc in back loop of next st] around, ending at **. Join with slip st in top of beg sc, fasten off – 11 shells. Rnd 12 With B, repeat Rnd 7 – 11 shells. Fasten off.FINISHING
With A, work from beg through Rnd 2. Next Rnd Ch 1, sc in first dc, 2 sc in next dc, [sc in next dc, 2 sc in next dc] around, ending slip st to join in top of first sc. Fasten off. Sew inside at top center to create a stiffer crown.
