Chevron Hat Pattern

This is my first adult hat pattern. I have not really done any hat patterns because it seams like when it come to hats, I could not seem to get it right. It turns out either too small or too big.

This think I got it right with this one. For the gauge, I got three inches between the points, and 4 rows equal to about an inch.

So here is what I used to make the hat.
Worsted Weight Yarn

I hook

Chain 85

Row 1: sc in second chain from hook, sc in the next 4 chains, 3 sc in the next chain, sc in the next 5 chains, skip 3 chains, *sc in the next 5 chains, 3 sc in the next chain, sc in the next 5 chains, skip 3 chains*  repeat, leaving the last 3 chains un-worked.

Don't turn, work in continuous rounds, I was working in the back loops because I like the effect, you could work in both loops.

Row 2:  Skip the first sc, *sc in the next 5 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next 5 sc, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Repeat round two until you have about 6 inches if you don't want a brim, go about another 2 inches if you want a brim.

Decrease Rounds

Row 1 : Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog, sc  in the next 3 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next 3 sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 2: Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog, sc  in the next 2 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next 2 sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 3:  Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog , sc in the next sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 4:  Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog , 3 sc in the next sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 5:  * sc 2 tog, sc in next sc, sc 2 tog* repeat around. Finish off

Remember the three chains you left unworked from the first round, attach the end of the chain to the first sc.
