Piece measures 7 1/2" across from edge to edge, and 23 3/4" around at end of round 10. Do fewer increase rows for a smaller hat.

WORK IN BACK LOOPS FOR ROUND 11 ONLY

ROUND 11: sl st in next st, place marker in sl st, sc in back loop only of ea st around. End with sc in back loop of the sl st. Do Not Join. (72 sc)

ROUND 12 thru 13: Work in both loops. 1 sc in ea st around. Join with sl st in first sc. (72 sc)

cbs = crossed bar stitch = Crossed Bar Stitch - yo, insert hook in st or sp indicated, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo insert hook in next st or sp indicated, pull up a loop (5 loops on hook), yo draw thru all 5 loops on hook - crossed bar stitch made.

ROUND 14: ch 2, *cbs, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join in the first ch-1 space of the round. (36 cbs)

[Start  the first cbs in the same st as the join. The next cbs always starts in the same stitch (or space) where the previous cbs ended.The final cbs of the round ends in the same stitch as the first cbs of the round.]

ROUNDS 15 thru 17 are worked in ch-1 spaces of previous rounds.

ROUND 15 thru 17: ch 2, *cbs, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join in first ch-1 space of round for rounds 15 and 16. Join in the top of the first cbs for round 17. (36 cbs)

Tip: when you come to the stitch with the chain 2, place your stitch between the chain 2 and the first cbs stitch, then complete the stitch you're working on. This will hide the chain 2.

ROUND 19: 1 sc in ea st around.

Tip: Reverse hdc is very awkward, but it gets easier as you do it.

Fasten off and weave in ends

Embelish with the White Twinkle Choker, just make the straps long enough to tie in back and hang down.
