Hi Tokti,

Hi Tokti,
Your work and hat are very beautiful just like your cute model. To get the right size, it is extremely important to check your gauge/tension before starting any project. For that, it is necessary to crochet a small sample and count how many sc sts/chs go into about 4 inches (10 cm). Then estimate how many chs you need to make to fit your head circumference. You can also adjust your gauge to match with mine by choosing a larger size crochet hook or thicker yarn. If still in doubt, you may write me your gauge, and I suggest the number of chs to start with. Happy crochet!

Hi!I almost finished mine and

Hi!I almost finished mine and have a question - despite using a No 6mm crochet hook, the band of the hat was too large, so I decreased stitches and now is fine. The thing is, I now have 39 stitches around - could you please advise in detail how I will make the brim and the edge of the hat? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
