The hat is crocheted with single crochet stitches, two strands held together, and x-stitches. It is important that the whole hat is crocheted with x-stitches to get the right shape, size and gauge.

First, the top is crocheted with gradual increases. Then the chart pattern is crocheted, before the hat is finished with a brim.
