Hi, I loved the hat and I would like to make one, but I am wondering how much rafia did it take you to make it?? So I can estimate how much rafia to buy.
Thanks for this wonderful pattern.

Yep, it helped, though I ran out of raffia after 5 rows. It looks neat though and doing it only around the edges still stiffened the edges enough to keep it from flopping down! Thanks!

The slip stitches will help.

My tension is usually spot on with patterns, but I actually had to ADD increase rows for this to fit my itty bitty head!

I did not do the second step with the slip stitches yet- is it supposed to look kind of ruffly around the brim until you put the slip stitches in? Right now it looks super sad. I’m assuming the slip stitches add in some stiffness and make the brim come out straighter?

Hi Loni, you could crochet the base round until it fits loosely around your head’s circumference then continue with the band and brim. Please check your tension, different tension will result in different measurement.
Happy crochet!

My head is rather small (19 or 20 inches)- I’m assuming the pattern will work if I just do less increase rounds? Is there anything else I should keep in mind?

Would love to make this hat but can’t find directions for the brim
Can you tell me how to do the brim? Thanks
