Hat Band
To make the band, we will be working short rows off of the last round worked on the body of the hat. Turn your work so that the right side is facing you.
- Ch10 (see Figure 8). Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across (see Figure 9). Ss into same st you chained from on hat body. Ss into next unworked st (see Figure 10). Turn. – 9 st
- Sk2 ss. Sc in BLO of 1st st 8 sts. Sc in both loops of last st (see Figure 11). Turn. – 9 st
- Ch1. Sc in 1st st. Sc in BLO of next 8 sts (see Figure 12). Ss into next 2 unworked sts on hat body (see Figure 13). Turn. – 9 st

Repeat rows 2 & 3 all the way around the hat body. You will end with a row 2 repeat. Turn your work so the wrong side is facing you. Ss the ends of the hat band closed , working in the bottom bar of the 1st row and the BLO of the last row. Note: If you find that your hat brim is on the loose side, try decreasing your hook size.
Weave in your ends, and you’re done!

And until next time… Happy Hooking! 😉
I need help with your pattern…
Row 14 has a repeated sequence of *sc in next ch1 sp, Ch1, sk1 st, bn in next ch1 sp, sk1 st**
This consists of 3 stitches (sc, ch1 & bn)
Then Row 15 has a repeated sequence of *Ch1, sk1 st, hdc in next ch1 sp**
This consists of 2 stitches (ch1 & hdc)
Looking at the Row 15 in the hat photograph, it appears that the hdc is being placed in ch1 st, then the sc is being skipped and then the next hdc is being placed between the sc and the bean stitch where there isn’t a ch1 sp.
Should there be a ch1 sp after each bean st in row 14?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hi Lisa,
Each bean stitch is finished with a ch1. So there already is a ch1 after each bean stitch. However, it can be difficult to see where that ch1 space is, so it is totally acceptable to place your hdc in the chain itself. Hope that helps!
