Kids summer hats

Made these hats for the kids while they were riding in the car with us and during quiet times while we were up north. Wrote down the pattern, sort of, when I was making them but lost it.

Crown

• I measured their heads. They were about 19 inches in circumference.
• I started with a magic ring and 6 SC, then worked in a round spiral until it reached about 18" in circumference. 
• Basic increasing: R1 6 sc, R2 12 sc, etc. more or less. I had interruptions so lost count. I just basically made sure that the circle stayed flat.

Sides: just crocheted SC without increasing for about 8-10 rows

Brim: Increased SC as needed to keep flattish. The girl's hats curled up but looked really cute. To curl down probably would have had to work from inside so the other side of SC was out.

Notes: Used 4 play yarn I had laying around. Probably could get 2 hats out of one skein. Worked in spiral so didn't really have to keep track of beginning and ending of rows. Wished I had some stiff string to try or pliable straw.
