Woman’s Ribbed Crochet Cap By LisaAuch Crochet 
Stylish, warm and cosy, woman’s crochet ribbed hat with brim.
Thick and chunky style makes this a great hat for keeping you warm on those colder days.
This cap is crocheted using the front post double crochet stitch you should be familiar with increasing and decreasing using this stitch.
This project is a yarn eater, but it makes for a very warm hat
Please note: This is NOT a beginner's hat Pattern.
You should be confident in front post increasing/decreasing in crochet to make this hat.

Special note:
The hat is worked in rounds and will look strange and like a large scrunchie. As you work, the hat will become like a large floppy pancake, you need to carry on working until you start to decrease, which will pull in the sides of the hat. And the Hat shape starts to appear.
I have added photos to support Rnds 2,3,4 at the end.
