Men’s hat with a double brim crochet pattern:

Ch 43 + 1 for turning. Ch 53 for a taller, more pointed crown that will stand up and not sit directly on your head. It looks amazing as well!

Row 2: Ch1, sl st blo in each st across. Turn. (43)

Finish the Hat:

1. 1. Cut the yarn, leaving a 1-1.2m tail.
   2. Fold the hat wrong side out (with the foundation edge closest to you).
   3. To make the seam more flexible and less rigid, split the working yarn in half. Since the yarn has 5 strands, divide it into 2 strands and 3 strands, using only the 2 strands for the seam.
   4. Insert the hook underneath the 2 loops of the foundation chain and through the back loop of the other side, finishing with a slip stitch. Continue joining the two edges together.
   5. Turn the hat right side out.
   6. Using the same yarn tail and a yarn needle, first pick up the bars of the 3 rightmost ridges. Then, seam the central part by picking up the bars from the front and back parts, one by one.
   7. At the end, pick up the bars of the 3 leftmost ridges.
   8. Pull the tail to shape the crown of the hat.
   9. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
