Row 1: Create a brim that is 25 st deep. Connect brim edges as shown in video, then fold in half lengthwise, hiding the ridge “eyesore” in the inside fold. SL into corresponding st on opposite edges, CH 2, and place 80 DC around the edges of the brim, crocheting the two sides together as you do so. It might be helpful to use a scrap piece of yarn or stitch marker to section off the brim into four even parts and place 20 DC inside each section. *CH 2 counts as 1st DC.
Row 2: Following a continuous loop pattern, place 1 FRONT POST st in the next 5 st. Then place 1 BACK POST st in the next 5 st. Continue alternating between FRONT and BACK POST stitches every five stitches.
