Step-by-step instructions:
This pattern is crocheted in a sort of like a “spiral” manner. You need to use a marker in order to know where the last row ends.
Row 1 - ch 5 and join with a sl st in first ch to form a circle
Row 2 - 8 sc stitches in ring – place your marker on the end your row, which you will move with each row up
Row 3 - *(1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc); rep from * around – move your marker into a place of your last stitch
Row 4 - *(1 sc in each of next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc); rep from * around – move your marker into a place of your last stitch
Row 5 - *(1 sc in each of next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc); rep from * around – move your marker into a place of your last stitch
Row 6 - *(1 sc in each of next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc); rep from * around – move your marker into a place of your last stitch
Row 7 - *(1 sc in each of next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc); rep from * around – move your marker into a place of your last stitch
Row 8 - *(1 sc in each of next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc); rep from * around – move your marker into a place of your last stitch
Row 9-20 - *(1 sc in each sc); rep from * around - move your marker into a place of your last stitch. When finished with last row, crochet two sl. st in each sc (to make sure the yarn will not unravel), cut of your yarn and weave it into the edge of brim. Roll up the rim.
