GAUGE:

Gauge is very important for proper sizing of the hat. Please take the time to check for proper gauge and adjust yarn or hook size as necessary. 16 sc and 20 rows = 4” brim gauge

The stitch pattern behaves a little different from straight sc. Row measurements are given at rows 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
