Notes:
- Stitch multiple: 4 (Understanding Stitch Multiples)
- Crochet stitch pattern : modified Crossbill Stitch
- For my Sandra Hat Pattern which uses the Crossbill Stitch, please see this post
- The initial ch-3 does not count as stitch unless specified.
- The sl st does not count as a stitch
- Make your sl st tightly
- You may customize the hat height by working the repeat as many, or as few, times as you wish. Every 5 rounds you add with the stitch pattern, will add approximately 2-inches of height to the hat.
- If you would like to add a little bit more height to the hat, work an additional round (or two) of sc in the back loop only.
- I use an invisible join to finish off my final round of stitches, you may substitute a sl st to join if you prefer.
