EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.
CROCHET INFORMATION:
Replace first treble crochet on round with 3 chain stitches. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in third chain stitch from beginning of round. (When A.2 is repeated, work the 3 chain stitches as 1 treble crochet).
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 treble crochet by working the next 2 treble crochets together as follows: Work 1 treble crochet but wait with last pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work next treble but now pull last yarn over through all 3 loops on hook.
INCREASE TIP:
Increase 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets in same treble crochet.

HAT - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work in the round top down.
HAT:
Work 4 chain stitches on hook size 3.5 mm with Bomull-Lin or Paris and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch. Read CROCHET INFO!
Work * A.2, A.1 *, work from *-* 6 times in total in width (there are no stitches in A.2 on first round). REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When A.1 and A.2 have been worked vertically, there are 90 treble crochets on round. Work 1st round in A.3 and repeat this round until piece measures approx. 16 cm from the top and down. Work last round in A.3 (= eyelet row). Then work brim as explained below:
BRIM:
Work A.4 in the round (= 10 repetitions of 9 stitches). When A.4 has been worked vertically, there are 210 stitches on round. Place a thin steel wire along the edge of brim. Work 1 double crochet in every treble crochet the entire round while AT THE SAME TIME working around steel wire. This is done to make the hat more stiff along the edge. Adjust the length on wire according to desired measurements on brim. Twine the steel wire ends together and hide them in the stitches. Cut and fasten the yarn.
