Steps to Make a Bucket Hat

Creating the Magic Ring

1. Make a Magic Ring:

   • Hold the yarn’s tail end at the bottom of your hand.
   • Wrap the yarn around two fingers to form an 'X'.
   • Use the hook to go under, over, and pull through.
   • Chain two.

2. Chain Two:

   • Yarn over and pull through twice.

Double Crochets in Magic Ring

1. 10 Double Crochets

   • Yarn over, insert hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through.
   • Yarn over, pull through two loops twice.
   • Repeat until you have 10 double crochets.

2. Tighten the Ring

   • Pull on the tail end to close the hole in the center.

Joining the Round

1. Slip Stitch:
   • Locate the post of the first double crochet.
   • Go under the two loops of the 'V' at the top and pull through.

Increasing Rounds

1. Round Two

   • Chain two.
   • Increase in every stitch (2 double crochets per stitch).
   • End with a slip stitch.

2. Round Three

   • Increase in every second stitch.
   • Total of 30 stitches by end.

3. Subsequent Rounds

   • Increment the number of stitches between increases by one each round (e.g., third round: every third stitch).
   • Continue until desired hat size is achieved:
     • Small: 7 rounds
     • Medium: 8 rounds
     • Large: 9 rounds

Creating the Hat’s Height

1. No Increases

   • Chain two, crochet into back loops only for the first round.
   • Continue with regular stitches for desired hat height.

2. Round Details

   • Perform 7 rounds between top and brim.

Forming the Brim

1. First Brim Round

   • Work into front loops only, increase in every eighth stitch.

2. Alternating Rounds

   • Alternate between increase rounds and regular rounds.
   • Continue until brim is desired length.
   • End on an increase round to prevent curling.

Finishing the Hat

1. Fastening Off

   • Chain one, cut yarn, pull through to tighten knot.

2. Weaving in Ends

   • Turn hat inside out, weave ends into the inside.
   • Double knot for extra security, weave under multiple stitches.
