Creating the Hat Body

Creating the Zigzag Pattern

5. Switch to Orange Yarn: Change to orange yarn for the next rounds.
6. Rounds 11-12: Work in double crochet (dc), alternating colors to create a zigzag pattern:
   • Round 11: *5 dc in orange, 5 dc in black* repeat around.
   • Round 12: Repeat Round 11.
7. Continue in Pattern: Keep alternating the colors for a total of 5 rounds.

Creating the Brim

9. Round 17: Work 2 dc in each stitch around (120 dc).
10. Round 18: *1 dc in the first stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch* repeat around (180 dc).
11. Round 19: *2 dc in the first stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch* repeat around (240 dc).

Finishing Touches

12. Ruffled Edge: Finish with a round of single crochet (sc) in orange for a ruffled edge.
13. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it.
14. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
