Here's how to do it
This hat is suitable for beginners and we go through all the steps together. The hat is made of our new paper yarn which is available in several lovely colours and it weighs nothing. It is crocheted with a 7 mm crochet hook and the color used in the video is brown, but you can choose any of the 5 colors you want to create your very unique summer hat.
We start in the middle of the top part of the hat and work our way out to the brim.
Start by making a slip stitch by wrapping the yarn 1.5 turns around two fingers and catching that innermost yarn by going under the first yarn on the finger. Pull the innermost yarn with you and loosen the yarn around your fingers and you now have a slip stitch.
We will now make a chain of three chain stitches. Adjust the loop you just made around your crochet hook so it is just tight enough around the crochet hook. Now we will start crocheting the chain, use the crochet hook and pick up the yarn with the end that comes from the yarn roll (you temporarily have 2 loops on the crochet hook) and pull through so that a loop is formed (first loop). Do this until you have 3 loops on the hook. Now you will crochet your first and your last stitch together by threading the hook through the first loop and catching the yarn that comes from your yarn role, pull through as we did and you now have a ring containing three chain stitches.
Now we will crochet around until we reach the diameter you want - follow the increases below to get a good increase. Keep track of your rounds by inserting a safety pin at the beginning of each round.
On your ring with 3 chain stitches that you have now, in each front loop of the stitches we will make two single crochet so that we have a total of six stitches around.
Count the stitches after each round from left to right and start crocheting single crochets in the stitch that is the number of stitches you should have in each round, for example start in the 18th stitch. Crochet until you are satisfied with the size of the top part of the hat, it may be that you do not make the last rounds, or that you make more rounds.
Round 0: Increase by making two stitches in each stitch. (6 single crochet in total)
Round 1: Increase by making two stitches in each stitch (12 single crochet in total)
Round 2: Increase by making two stitches in every other stitch (18 single crochet in total)
Round 3: Increase by making two stitches in every third stitch (24 single crochet in total)
Round 4: Increase by making two stitches in every fourth stitch (30 single crochet in total)
Round 5: Increase by making two stitches in every fifth stitch (36 single crochet in total)
Round 6: Increase by making two stitches in every sixth stitch (42 single crochet in total)
Round 7: Increase by making two stitches in every seventh stitch (48 single crochet in total)
Now we will crochet the sides of the hat, which we do without increases.
Crochet a single crochet in each stitch until you reach your desired length on the sides, for the hat in the video it is 6 rows. Measure the side so that it covers your ears about halfway. When you feel satisfied with the height, we make some increases to get a nice shape on brim- see the next step.
To make the brim grow outwards, continue to crochet single crochet stitches just like on the side, but add an increase of every fourth stitch (thus crocheting single crochet on it). In the video we show how you can make the edge a little different and crochet in the front stitch arc, but it's a matter of taste how you want the edge to look, both techniques work.
Crochet a few rows in this way, thus an increase of every four stitches. Then you can finish with a row without increments. You yourself determine the size of the brim. If it is too wavy, you can simply make fewer increases.
When the yarn is finished or you just feel satisfied with the size, fasten the yarn so that the yarn end does not stick out (See video for example).
Now the hat is ready! :)
