Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook.
Tools: Scissors and a tapestry needle.

Pattern Details

Skill Level: Easy/Beginner.
Stitch Guide:
- hdc: Half Double Crochet.
- tr: Treble Crochet (Yarn over twice).
- sl st: Slip stitch.
Special Technique: Work into the back bump of the foundation chain for a professional edge.

Phase 1: The Foundation and Rim

Foundation: Create an adjustable loop and chain 60. Run your fingers along the chain to ensure it isn’t twisted.
Save
Join: sl st into the first chain to form a circle.
Round 1: Ch 1. hdc into the back bump of each chain around. sl st to the first hdc to close.
Save
Rounds 2–3: Ch 2. hdc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st.

Phase 2: The Textured Body (Part A)

Keep both yarns connected throughout. Leave slack when carrying yarn up the inside to prevent the hat from pulling/puckering.

Round 4: Join Yarn B (Gray). hdc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st.
Round 5: Switch back to Yarn A (Red). Ch 4. tr in each stitch around. Join with a sl st.
Save
Rounds 6–10: * Repeat hdc rounds with Yarn B.
- Repeat tr rounds with Yarn A.
- (End Part A after a Round 10 hdc row with Yarn B).

Phase 3: The Yin-Yang Color Flip (Part B)

Now, you will reverse which color does which stitch.

Round 11: Switch to Yarn A (Red). hdc in each stitch around.
Round 12: Switch to Yarn B (Gray). Ch 4. tr in each stitch around.
Rounds 13–17: * Continue alternating: hdc rounds in Yarn A and tr rounds in Yarn B.
- Stop after Round 17 (the final hdc round).

Phase 4: Closing the Hat

The Petal Method: Instead of weaving a thread, you will “cinch” the top.
- Skip 9 stitches, sl st into the 10th.
- Repeat this around the top opening. This creates 6 “petals.”
Center Seal: sl st 1 or 2 times across the very center of the hole to close it completely.
Finish Top: Fasten off and pull the tail to the inside to weave in.

Phase 5: The Bottom Trimming

Attach: Find the tail at your original foundation chain. Attach Yarn B.
Final Row: Ch 1. hdc into each foundation chain around. Working into the “leftover” loops from Step 1 creates a clean, professional rim.
Finish: sl st to close, fasten off, and weave in all ends.
