Rolled Brim Hat in Dark Turquoise, Purple, and White cheap

This gorgeous hat was crocheted with two strands of a sock weight wool blend variegated yarn and a small size crochet hook. While this adds quite a bit to the time required to make it, the resulting structured shape is worth the effort. The colors of the two strands of yarn combine into softly marled stripes of dark turquoise, purple, and white. The entire hat is worked beginning with a fairly flat top and then a single row of back loop crochet stitches allow the sides to be crocheted at a nearly 90 degree angle from the top. A row of single crochet at the top increases this effect. At the bottom of the hat I worked several rows of increases and then a few rows of decreases to create the rolled brim.

**Sides of hat measure about 6 inches with brim rolled down

**Circumference of hat at just above brim section is about 22 inches but stretches slightly to about 24 inches.

**Diameter of top of hat is about 6 inches.

**Machine Wash Cold on Gentle Cycle or Hand Wash. Air Dry. (This cheap is made out of a washable wool blend sock yarn but will last longer if washed by hand and allowed to air dry.)

**Made by me in my smoke free home.

**Crafting time for this hat was about 16-18 hours.
