This pattern uses \textsc{Super Bulky (Size 6) Yarn}.  As a substitute, two strands together of \textsc{Medium/Worsted (Size 4) Yarn} can be used.  This pattern is crocheted using a \textsc{Large (9mm) Hook}.  This pattern uses around one hundred yards of yarn, depending on how large the head and brim are.

\begin{enumerate}
	\item{\textsc{Foundation Half-Double Crochet} a line around one foot long.  This will be the height of the hat from the base to the top of the head.  One foot should be enough to give a couple-inch brim.}
	\item{\textsc{Chain One}, then \textsc{Half-Double Crochet} atop the previous crochets, working in back or front loops only.  Repeat this step until the work fits with some stretching around the widest part of the head.}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item{By working in back loops only, a simple ribbing pattern is produced.  This can be altered by changing between crocheting in front and back loops only.  By alternating thrice back loops only with thrice front loops only, small and large ribs alternate.}
	\end{itemize}
	\item{Fold the work in half with the exterior side (the sides will only be different if front and back loops were crocheted into) on the inside.  \textsc{Single Crochet} two of the three open sides together, then invert the work to hide the seams.}
	\item{Roll up the brim of the hat to the desired length.  \textsc{Single Crochet} and/or \textsc{Half-Double Crochet} around the brim until it is the desired length, if the hat is not long enough for the head.}
