Visor
Note: The sc sts in the even numbered rows will be worked “1 row deep.” To do this, work the sc through the st 1 row below, and over the reverse slip sts just made. This makes an extra sturdy stitch for the visor.
1. Fold the hat in half, with the back of the hat away from you, top of the hat facing downward, and the opening of the hat facing upwards. Line up the middle edge of the back of the hat (back seam) with the middle edge of the front of the hat.
2. Attach yarn to 2nd st in, on the left side.
Row 1: Ch 1. Reverse slip stitch in each st across, moving to the right, to the 2nd to the last stitch before the fold. (You should now have reverse slip stitches along what will be the front bottom edge of the hat).
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in same st, and in next 3 sts, 2sc in next st, sc in each st until last 5 sts, 2sc in next st, sc in last 4 sts.
Row 3: Ch 1. Reverse slip st in each st back to right side.
Row 4: Ch 1. Skip 1st st, sc in each st until you reach the middle of visor sts, 2sc in next st, sc in each st until 2nd last st, leaving last st unworked.
Row 5: Ch 1. Reverse slip st in each st back to right side.
Row 6: Ch 1, sc in each st across. Do not fasten off. 2sc in corner st of the brim, sc evenly down side of brim, sc in each st around the bottom of the hat, sc evenly up the other side of brim, 2sc in corner st the of the brim. Slip st to join to 1st or 2nd st on the front of the brim.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Mary Jane Strap
Note: the strap length can be adjustable according to preference. Keep in mind that the length may work better if it is longer, for the larger sizes.
Ch 30.
Row 1: Dc in 3rd ch from hook, *dc in next ch; repeat from * across.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across, sc evenly down the short edge of the strap, sc in each “leftover loop” from ch sts, sc evenly up short edge of the strap. Join to first sc.
Fasten off.
Place your finished strap on the hat, laying it where you’d like it to sit. Use a piece of yarn to mark where your buttons should be attached so that they can hold the strap in place. Attach buttons with matching yarn. Use the spaces in between the dc sts as buttonholes, and secure strap to the hat.
