GAUGE: 3 sc = 1 inches. Motifs are approx, 2¾ inches across. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
HAT BAND:
Motif (make 8): Ch 4, join with sl st into ring. Work 8 sc into ring, sl st to join. Next rnd: Ch 3, yo and insert hook into same space, yo, pull loop through, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through rem 2 loops (first petal made). *Ch 3, yo and insert hook into next sc, pull loop through, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops rem on hook), yo and insert into same sc, pull loop through, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 2 loop, yo pull through rem 3 loops on hook (petal made); rep from * 6 more times -- 8 petals made counting First Petal. Ch 3 and join with sl st top top of first petal. Fasten off. Assemble Hat Band: Sl st motifs tog by placing right sides tog, sl st 2 ch-3 spaces tog, sl st across one motif to next ch-3 space, sl st 2 motifs tog at ch-3 space, sl st across to next ch-3 space, sl st tog at ch-3 space. Leave one ch-3 space free at top and bottom of each motif. Join 8 motifs into long narrow hat band in this manner. (Or, motifs may be sewn tog at same positions.) HAT:
Ch 4, join with sl st into ring. Work 6 sc into ring, sl st to join. Mark beg of rnd, working in a spiral:
Rnd 1: 2 sc in each sc around -- 12 sc.
Rnd 2: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next sc*, rep from * to * around -- 18 sc.
Rnd 3: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 2 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 24 sc.
Rnd 4: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 3 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 30 sc.
Rnd 5: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 4 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 36 sc.
Rnd 6: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 5 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 42 sc.
Rnd 7: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 6 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 48 sc.
Rnd 8: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 7 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 54 sc.
Rnd 9: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 8 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 60 sc.
Rnd 10: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 9 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 66 sc.
Rnd 11: *2 sc into next sc, sc into next 10 sc*, rep from * to * around -- 72 sc. Note: Piece should be 7" across circle. Work 4 rnds even in sc. Join Hat and Hat band: Rnd 1: With right sides tog, sc 72 sts around inserting hook through both hand band and last row of hat to join (each hat band motif will have 9 sc across, 2 sc into ch-3 space, 1 sc into top cluster st, 3 sc into middle free ch-3 space, 1 sc into next top cluster st, 2 sc into ch-3 space). Sl st back seam of hat band and with RS facing, work 72 sc around bottom of hat band (9 sts across each motif as described above). Work 4 rnds even in sc. Brim Incs:
First Rnd: *Sc into each of next 8 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 80 sts. Work 1 rnd even in sc.
Next rnd: *Sc into each of next 9 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 88 sts. Work 1 rnd even in sc.
Next Rnd: *Sc into each of next 10 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 96 sts. Work 1 rnd even in sc.
Next Rnd: *Sc into each of next 11 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 104 sts. Work 1 rnd even in sc.
Next Rnd: *Sc into each of next 12 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 112 sts. Work 1 rnds even in sc.
Next Rnd: *Sc into each of next 13 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 120 sts. Work 1 rnd even in sc.
Next Rnd: *Sc into each of next 14 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 128 sts. Work 1 rnd even in sc.
Next Rnd: *Sc into each of next 15 sts, 2 sc into next st*, rep from * to * around -- 136 sts. Note: Hat should measure approx 5" from bottom of hat band. Work 2 rnds even in sc. Fasten off. Weave in ends. Mold brim with hands into desired shape.
