Toddlers spiral plarn hat

I remade my nephews hat deeper so it would stay on his head better.

I used 11 bags cut 1/2" and h hook.

I started out with a magic circle and worked in a spiral.
Rounds were marked with safety pins so I would know where I started plus I tend to lose track of counting so the pins were a visual reminder where I was.

About halfway through I turned the hat inside out to make working on it easier and left it like that when I was done.

Rounds for top or crown of hat

1. 6 SC, mark
2. 12 SC, mark
3. 24 SC, mark
4. *2 SC increase, then 2 SC* repeat 6 times?
5. *2 SC inc, then 4sc* repeat 6 times
6. *2 sc inc, then 8 sc* repeat 4 times, then 5 sc 
7. *2 sc inc, then 12 sc* repeat 3 times?, then 2sc incr
8. *14 sc, then 2sc inc* repeat 3 times?
9. *16 sc, then 2sc inc* repeat 2 times, then 14 sc
10. *2sc inc, then 18 sc* repeat 2 times, then 14 sc (I let it start to curl here)
11. *2sc inc, then 20 sc* repeat 2 times, then 2sc inc, then 10 sc
12. *10 sc, then 2sc inc* repeat 5 times, mark 

Measures about 6 1/4" in diameter

Rounds for Side of hat
Approximately 60 HDC for about 9 rounds or 3"

Rounds for Brim of hat
These rounds were unequal stitches as I didn't count stitches. I just worked till I got near or just past safety pin mark. I worked until the brim was about 2 1/2" long. Ending up stopping hdc about 3 st before safety pin, then did 2 sc to finish last round.

1. *2hdc inc, then 5 hdc* repeat until get near or just past marked spot
2. *2hdc inc, then 6 hdc* repeat
3. * 2hdc inc, then 7 hdc* repeat
4. * 2hdc inc, then 8 hdc* repeat
5. * 2hdc inc, then 9 hdc* repeat
6. * 2hdc inc, then 11 hdc* repeat

Here's my notes.

Started on 6/8/14
