Ouh, do you have any good straw hat pattern?
this is the kind of hats i've been making! :D
i started with this tutorial but got confused at some point and started winging it.
to make the hat above it did roughly this:
magic circle for 6 stiches,
then increase in each stich for a total of 12 stiches, then i mark the last stich done this way and continue without rows as one contionous row. the marker acts as a way to know when you've made a whole loop.
top: after the increase in every stich i do a basic circle method - so an increase every second stich, then next loop is every third, then every fourth, every fifth etc. until i reach the loop where i increase every 15 stiches. after the 15 stiches loop i stop increasing (because that's how big my head is, for smaller heads, stop increasing sooner, for bigger, later. though finish most of the hat before judging the size, as at first i thought it'd be too big but then it turned out perfect).
hight: and then i do 13-15 normal loops, basically keep going until it reaches just above or just over your ears, depending on what kind of hat you like wearing
brim: here i used this random tiktok video for how to start the brim. i do exactly the same thing as with that basket, but outward and increasing every 15th stich. after that loop it's normal increases again, every 16th, 17th, 18th, until you have a brim you're happy with :)
edit: oh yeah also i used a 250g thread "suitable for macrame crafts" whatever that means, and a 4mm hook :)
edit 2: all single crochet
Welp, it looks great.. thank you for the details, Im gonna try it!
i started with a pattern but halfway through i began winging it lol! i can describe my process when i get home though
