I followed the instructions for the straight brim and my brim is still ruffled. On round 2, I chained 3, in next stitch I put 2 dc, in next stitch I put 1 dc and repeated this step until I got all the way around. It is still more ruffled than his picture.

I started this hat by following the pattern. I chained 3 and slip stiched to first chain. I then watched the video and followed mostly that. For row 5, you dc twice in first stitch and then dc once in next 3 stitches, dc twice in next stitch, then dc once in next 3 stitches. Repeat around and join to top of chain 3 with slip stitch. Row 6 is dc twice in first stitch, dc once in next 4 stitches, dc twice in next stitch, dc once in next 4 stitches. Repeat around and join to top of chain 3 with slip stitch. Row 7 is increase to 5 dc's once between 2 dc if you need a row 7 which I did. I am presently working on the brim of the hat and like how it is turning out. I hope I helped make it clear.

The written instructions said to start with ch 3 - the video said 4. Also, instructions for row 3 said to dbl ch in the sl st place but in viedo you went to the next dbl ch. I'm really getting confused by this. Can you tell us which is correct? I would really love to make this hat. And one more question, row 5? all it says is "to desired circumference and should end up with 50 - same goes for row 6. This doesn't tell us the pattern/stiches needed to get to 50, and 60 st in row 6...How is this accomplished? PLEASE ADVISE! thanks

Just keep increasing until the hat measures the circumference of your head.
