(Optional*) Round 11. Ch 1, make a sc in that same stitch, use a stitch marker to mark it, make a sc in each of the next 5 sts, put 2 scs in the next st, *make 1 sc in each of the next 6 sts, put 2 scs in the next st* repeat *-* until you reach your stitch marker, connect the last st to the first marked stitch with a slst. <32>
If you want a slightly smaller brim then leave off this round and go straight to round 12. Change the total amount of sts in the next round to 28.
Round 12. Ch 1, put a Flo sc in that same st, move your st marker to that first st of the round, put 1 Flo sc in each st, join the round with a slst. <32> (<28> if you skipped round 11)

The Band of the Hat 2 Ways…
Ch 38 (ch 30 if you skipped round 11), slst to join. Sew the ends together, weave in the ends, and place it at the base of the hat.*
*Your gauge/tension might be different than mine so make sure the band fits your hat before you finish it.
This is how I wove in the ends.
If you would like a thicker band, then ch 39 (31 if smaller brim), make 1 sc in the second ch from the hook, and then make 1 sc in each st.
Sew the ends together, weave in the ends, and place it at the base of the hat.*
*Your gauge/tension might be different then mine so make sure the band fits your hat before you finish it.
