| Round 1 | Create a magic ring sc 7 into the ring close the ring by pulling the tail |
STITCH COUNT = 7 |
Rounds are worked continuously; place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to keep track of where it began– so you know where to stop once you’ve worked the full round.
| Round 2 | work 1 inc into each stitch | = 14 |
| Round 3 | [sc 1, inc 1] repeat [this] 7 times | = 21 |
| Round 4 | [sc 2, inc 1] repeat [this] 7 times | = 28 |
| Offset | sc 2 |
These offset stitches push the beginning of the next round forward, ensuring the increases in the following round are staggered and the lid maintains its round shape, rather than growing into a sharp heptagon!
Place your stitch marker after these offset stitches to mark the beginning of the next round.

| Round 18 | Work a full round of sc flo | = 119 |
| Round 19 | Work a full round of sc, picking up the corresponding back loop from Round 20 with each stitch | = 119 |
This creates a fold where the lid meets the crown– giving the hat a more pronounced corner.
| Rounds 20–42 | Work 22 rounds of sc (119 stitches per round) |
When you start getting to the last of these 22 rounds, try on the crown to see how it fits. Ideally, the bottom edge should align with the tops of your ears.
If you find the crown is too tall and that bottom edge is sliding down over or behind your ears, unravel as many rounds as you need until it aligns with the tops of your ears, then move on to Round 43

TO FINISH
Once you've completed round 62, finish with one full round of backwards slip stitch
This stitch helps rigidify the edge of the brim so that it doesn't curl upwards, and gives a neat finish.
STARCHING (OPTIONAL)
If you want to achieve a stiffer, cantilevered hat brim, we recommend applying some starch spray. This is a pretty standard item you can find in the laundry aisle of most Australian grocery stores (we used this one when sample making).
First, place your hat upside down on the edge of a table or benchtop, with some paper towels or a tea towel beneath it (to soak up excess spray).
Leave for 45 minutes to an hour until completely dry. The starch will wash out with subsequent laundering, and will need to be reapplied thereafter to achieve the same effect.
