Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your Enchanted Forest Puff Stitch Hat:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the ring to create your starting point.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 2 (this does not count as a stitch).
   • Make a puff stitch in the same stitch as the chain 2.
   • Chain 1.
   • *Make a puff stitch in the next stitch, chain 1.* Repeat from * to * around.
   • Join with a slip stitch. You should have 12 puff stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 2.
   • Make a puff stitch in the first chain-1 space from the previous round.
   • Chain 1.
   • *Make a puff stitch in the next chain-1 space, chain 1.* Repeat from * to * around.
   • Join with a slip stitch.
5. Continue the Pattern:
   • Continue working in this pattern, adding an extra puff stitch in every other chain-1 space every few rounds.
   • Keep crocheting until the hat measures approximately 8 inches from the crown.
6. Finishing Touch:
   • Once you reach the desired height, finish with a round of single crochet (sc) around the brim for a neat edge.
   • Fasten off and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
