Other Suggestions

1. Work the final round in RSC (reverse single crochet/crab stitch) for a fun “rope” edging.
2. Use a fun variegated or self-striping yarn for a colorful hat.
3. Use cotton yarn for a cool summer hat.
4. Add pins, brooches, ribbons, or buttons to your hat to make it unique.
5. Flip the hat upside down & use the ribbon to cinch it into a little purse!
