Round 5: Sl st in ch sp, SIZING HATS V st in first four ch sp, Sizing hats can be tricky! Check the diameter after [2 V in next ch, V st in next 6 st] 2x, round 9. The diameter should be about 20” (51 cm) V st in next 2 ch sp, and the length about 6.25” (16 cm). If yours varies sl st in ch 2 of beginning ch 3. significantly, the difference may be due to: (24 V sts) • Yarn: Not all weight 4 are the same. You may get different results with different brands and even with different colors within the same brand. • Tension: Yours may differ from mine. Rounds 6–10: Solutions: Sl st in ch sp, V st in each ch sp, • Change hook size OR sl st in ch 2 of beginning ch 3. • For larger circumference, do additional increases (24 V sts) in rounds 4 & 5. • For a longer hat (or slouchy look), repeat round 6 desired number of times.
