How to Crochet a Rolled Brim

Crocheting a rolled brim is a quick and simple way to embellish a crocheted hat. Worked into the existing stitches, the brim is crocheted using the half double crochet stitch and will naturally curl upwards to create a rolled look. Make the brim using a smaller crochet hook than the main body of the hat and use a contrasting color for an eye-catching design.

Things You'll Need

• 25g yarn
• Crochet hook

Instructions

1. Attach the yarn to the first stitch on the bottom row of the hat, using a slip stitch.

2. Chain two and then crochet the following stitch pattern to the end of the round: work one half double crochet into each of the next three stitches and then two half double crochets into the next stitch.

3. Chain two and then work one half double crochet into each stitch across the second round.

4. Repeat this last round a further two times.

5. Work one slip stitch into each stitch around the hat and then fasten off your work.

Tips & Warnings

• Work more repeats of step 3 for a larger brim.
