I made this Heart Stitch Hat for my 4‑year-old daughter with a circumference of 20 inches around her head. Since I started with the brim, I created this hat with a Hook, similar to the messy bun hat. I created a video if you need more assistance. If you want to make an Adult size, I would chain 10 for the brim and use an I hook. Take the brim around your head, and when it fits around your ears and meets together, then stop and follow the pattern as close as you can, but change the hook size to an I hook and make your brim a bit thicker with a chain 10. You may need to add a round of DC if you need an oversized hat than this child hat. If you want to make it smaller for a toddler, use a G hook and follow as closely as possible. I will show you how to crochet a heart stitch hat with step-by-step instructions in this video. This is a great beginner crochet pattern that is sure to keep you warm all winter!
