How to Crochet a Double Brimmed Hat

A free Crochet Pattern

Being in Ontario, I'm all about having a warm hat and gloves. With that Toronto wind you just need something a little more than just a plain hat to keep the ears warm. 

I wanted to make a tutorial for a double brimmed hat. These hats are much easier to make than you think. If you can single crochet and double crochet then you can make this hat. With this pattern you will make a long rectangle 2 inches less than your head circumference. Make a loop with the rectangle, fold it in half and the brim is done. Then you crochet around the brim to form the hat. 

Where can I get this pattern?

This is a free tutorial on the blog just keep scrolling down to find the pattern. 

This Pattern is also available in my Ravelry Store for $3.00. This is a great option if you want an ads free printer friendly PDF of the pattern.
