Note:

After each single crochet, gently pull up on the loop before removing your hook. When placing the loop back on your hook, gently tighten it so it wraps snugly on hook to maintain even tension.

At each join between squares, both ch-1 spaces are joined before working the next single crochet.

Ch 1, sc in same st. Remove hook from st, insert hook into any st on square (right side to wrong side), place loop back on hook and pull through to join. Repeat across square until you reach a join.
When you reach a join between squares, work sc, remove hook, insert into first ch-1 space and pull the loop through, remove hook again, insert hook into next ch-1 space, pull loop through again before continuing with next sc.

Brim

Note: Brim is worked in continuous rounds. Do not join at the end of each round. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.

Round 1:

Turn hat upside down, attach linen yarn in any ch-1 corner space to the left of a join between squares.

Sc in same ch-1 space, *sc in each stitch across to next join.
At each join, work: sc in ch-1 space, sc2tog across both ch-1 spaces, sc in next ch-1 space.
- repeat from * around. (90)
