Visor:
With the right side of the hat facing you, locate the front 30 stitches of the hat and join Color A in the rightmost stitch.
Row 1: Ch 1, make 1 hdc in the same stitch, hdc in the next 29 stitches, turn (30)
Row 2: Sk 1 stitch, *sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* repeat between * until 2 stitches remain, sc2tog, turn (37)
Row 3: Sk 1 stitch, hdc in next stitch, hdc in next 33 stitches, hdc2tog, do not turn, continue with final round of sc (35)
 
Final Round of SC: Slip stitch in the same space as the last stitch of Row 3, sc in the end of the next two rows and continue working around the hat making 1 sc in each stitch. When you get back to the visor, make 1 sc in the end of each row and in each hdc across the front of the visor back to where you started. Make an invisible join and weave in your ends.
 
Button Band (Optional): Ch 39, make 3 hdc in the 2nd chain from the hook, hdc in each chain to the end, make 5 hdc in the last chain - working the opposite side of the chain - hdc in each chain across, make 2 hdc in the last chain (same space as the first 3 hdc), make an invisible join and fasten off leaving a lengthy tail. Use the tail to sew the band on above the visor. Attach buttons on both ends of the band.

Changing yarn colors: If you are not comfortable carrying your working yarn between Rounds, you can fasten off after each Zigzag Round and join your new color between the starting chain and the post of the first DC.
 
To carry your working yarn, change colors when you slip stitch to join at the end of the Round: Insert your hook in the top of the starting chain, yarn over with Color B and pull through all loops on the hook.  Leave Color A hanging inside the hat and continue working around. When you get to the end, repeat these steps to change back to Color A.

Instructions for the Final Round of SC after finishing the Visor: Slip stitch in the same space as the last stitch in Row 3 of the visor instructions.
Sc in the end of the next two rows and continue working around the hat making 1 sc in each stitch. When you return to the visor, make 1 sc in the end of each row and in each hdc across the front of the visor back to where you started.
 
Make an invisible join by weaving the yarn tail under the 2nd stitch to the left and back through the middle of the last stitch (see images below). Gently tighten the tail so it resembles the other stitches. Weave in your ends.
