I crocheted this hat but I am a little confused about the brim - is it attached to the body of the hat - it's not clear?

Hi there, You create the brim separately and sew it on at the end. I updated the instructions to make them a little bit easier to follow. Thanks! - Julia from FaveCrafts

Hey readers! Just wanted to let you know that the instructions have been updated for this pattern. If you're still having trouble, please let us know by posting a comment on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/favecrafts). Thanks for all your kind words and we're so glad you like this pattern!

Having a problem with the making and attaching the brim. It's just not looking right. Anyone else work on this or make it. Any ideas? I know my gauge was a little off, but fixed that. Need a better example or a validation of the directions for the brim. Thanks

Looks more like what I call a golf hat or those hats that the men wear in Britain that are made from wool tweed. Both those hats have the crown portion of the hat covering the brim like this one does. I like the perky brimmed hats that the gals wore in the mid 1960's. Now those were cute!

Adorable pattern. I can't wait to make one for both my daughters and myself

This hat is very full and not as close to the typical "newsboy" style of cap. However, it is a cute pattern and worth making!

Love it, very easy to make

Very Stylish!
