Try on the hat or measure to see it fits, dec again if necessary and then work one row even.
Work a reverse sc for a border if you wish. Break off.
Additional Comments:
Variations: The photographed beret was worked in a sc in the back loop of each stitch. This hat can be worn with the ridged side out or the unridged side out as you want. For the edging, a row of half doubles was worked and then two rows of dc post stitches to give the ribbed effect.
Choose different stitches or patterns and include in the body of the hat. Bobble stitches, shell stitches, simple double crochet or half doubles, When changing the stitch height, remember you can decrease the number of rounds. You can also increase the number of rounds to make a “deeper” hat.
