rows even. Break yarn and fasten.

SINGLE CROCHET HAT PATTERN

Row 6: (1sc in each of next 4 sc, 2sc in next sc) around (36sc)
Row 7: (2sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 5 sc) around (42sc) (You
can place the marker at the end of this row and keep it there till
you do a few more rows. That way, if the hat is too tight or too
loose you can rip back to the marker and either add or subtract
stitches from round 8 to adjust the size of the hat) :-)

too long!)

with sl st to ch1
