Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in multiple colors (suggested colors: teal, mustard, coral, and lavender)
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 granny squares = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Granny Squares

Begin by making a total of 8 granny squares. Each square will be crocheted as follows:

1. Round 1:
   • Start with a magic ring.
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Chain 2.
   • Repeat the following sequence 3 times: 3 dc, chain 2.
   • Slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain-3 to close the round.
2. Round 2:
   • Slip stitch to the corner chain-2 space.
   • Chain 3, then work 2 dc, chain 2, and 3 dc in the same corner space.
   • For the next corner, work 3 dc in the next chain-2 space, chain 2, and then 3 dc in the same space.
   • Repeat this process for all corners (total of 4 corners).
   • Slip stitch to the top of the initial chain-3 to close the round.
   • Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Step 2: Join the Squares

Once you have all 8 granny squares completed, it’s time to join them:

1. Lay out your squares in a strip, arranging them in the desired color order.
2. Using a slip stitch or whip stitch, join the squares together along one edge. Make sure to align the stitches neatly for a clean finish.

Step 3: Form the Tube

Now, you will create a tube from your joined squares:

1. Take the first and last square of your strip and align the edges together.
2. Join these edges using a slip stitch to form a continuous tube.

Step 4: Create the Crown

To shape the top of your hat, follow these steps:

1. Single crochet (sc) around the top edge of the tube.
2. As you crochet, decrease evenly to close the top of the hat. You can do this by skipping a stitch every few stitches or by working two stitches together at regular intervals.
3. Continue until the opening is small enough to close completely.

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

For a whimsical finish, you can add a decorative element:

1. Create a tassel or pom-pom using leftover yarn.
2. Attach it securely to the top of your hat.
