Hi Elisa, Yes, the project is crocheted in continuous rounds without turning (or joining). At first when you work the hat it will be a flat circle until we stop adding stitches. Then as you continue to crochet it will begin to round up and take shape into it’s final ‘hat shape’. If your hat is still flat and not shaping into a cup like shape and you are almost finished then you gauge may be off, or you may have too many stitches in the hat. Let me know how you do 🙂 Rhondda
Do you keep going in rounds without decreasing? I am trying to do it but it is coming flat. Am I doing something wrong
