This pattern uses front post double crochet (fpdc) as well as back post double crochet (bpdc) There are several good
tutorials online of how to complete these stiches, as well as Youtube videos that will walk you through them. It is
expected that you know these stitches and are comfortable with them before beginning the pattern.

Items Needed:
150 yards WW yarn (more yardage will be neededfor a longer hat)
J hook for body
H hook for ribbing
Gauge:3
Gauge: dc with J hook=1" Height isn't important because you can just add on rounds
To join each round: join with slip stitch around the first front post double crochet of previous round (or beginning ch 2
of the first round), ch 2, then fpdc down into the same front post double crochet you just did the slip stitch to (again, thiswill be a ch 2 for the beginning round). This pushes the ch 2 behind the fpdc you just made (ignore the ch 2, it doesn't
exist). This isn't necessary, but it looks better than a standard ch2 and makes the join less obvious.

it doesn't exist). This isn't necessary, but it looks better than a standard ch2 and makes the join less obvious.
