Springtime Showers Sun Hat

Material: Red Heart Super Saver

Hints & Tips:

-          Ch 1 doesn’t count as a stitch in any round

-          Join the last st to the first st with a sl st in every round

-          Use any color arrangement you want! Rainbow colors are just one variations that would be perfect for it.

-          Complete brim by following surface slip stitch technique (here is a tutorial) in every round of the brim doing the color pattern you created backwards (so I ended with purple as a row and started with purple towards the base of the hat, please see picture to see what I mean.

-          If your gauge doesn’t match up or your hat size doesn’t come out right, try altering your hook size to make the hat larger or smaller.
