This hat fits snug per my personal preference. If you prefer a looser fit go up in hook size or add an additional round of double crochet between rows 4 and 5, increasing another 8 stitches. All subsequent row counts would increase
Chain 2 at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch throughout. When joining the round, slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet, not the chain 2.
Stitch count of each row listed in ( ).
Button and button flap are decorative and not functional. If you prefer a flat band without the button flap, instructions will follow at the end of the pattern,
