For a better understanding of my Crochet Patterns, please refer to my-special-crochet-abbreviations.
I used:
(Red Heart Super Saver) 4 ply Worsted Weight Yarns (in 'Monet').
(Lion Brand) 4 Ply Worsted Weight Yarns (in 'Dusty Green').
4.5 MM hook or hook needed to obtain gauge.
Round Markers.
Needle

Gauge:
Approximately 4 rows = 2 inches.
Approximately 11 sts = 2 inches.
~Advice:
Work the hat 'base' in a continuous round.
Working hdc & dc alternating continuously around.
Mark new rounds.
Save time, measure your gauge.
Read Before Proceed.
Measure the head you are making your hat for.
Size may vary by each individuals crochet tension.
Hide all knots and ends inside hat!
When sewing smaller parts, do not tie off until you are sure it is where you want it.
Be careful not to sew hat closed!
Refer to photos for visual details.
