Beginning at tip, ch 4, join with sl st to form ring. Ch 1. 1st rnd: 6 s c in ring. 2nd rnd: 2 s c in each s c. 3rd rnd: * 2 s c in next s c, s c in next s c, repeat from * around. 4th rnd: * S c in next s c, then insert hook at base of next s c, draw a loop through and work off as for a s c (hereafter this will be referred to as a long s c), repeat from * around. 5th rnd: * Long s c in next s c, s c in next long s c, repeat from * around. The entire hat is made by alternating s cs and long s cs—always being careful to place s cs in long s cs and long s cs in s cs of previous rnd. With a safety pin, mark the end of each rnd. 6th and 7th rnds: Work in pattern. 8th rnd: Work in pattern, making 4 increases at equal distances apart (to make an increase, make the next long s c in same place where the next long s c of previous rnd is made, then, s c in next s c, long s c at base of same s c of previous rnd, s c in next long s c, and continue with pattern). 9th and 10th rnds: Work in pattern straight. 11th rnd: Work in pattern, making 6 increases. Work 3 rnds straight. On next rnd, make 7 increases. Repeat the last 4 rnds 5 more times. Work straight until hat measures 5½ inches from tip to edge of hat. Break off. Turn the last 2 rnds over to the right side and sew in place.
