My husband will probably be less than thrilled if he sees this picture posted, but I snapped this when he was fooling around and couldn't resist!
This is a basic, comfortably fitting, warm men's hat. It has a row of post dc at the end for a bit of texture around the brim. What guy couldn't use another hat?

*This is crocheted pretty tightly. Gauge is about 3 dc in 1" across, 2 rows dc in 1" tall.*

Total Time: About 2 hours.

Yield: As many as you like.:)

Supplies:

"h" crochet hook
4 worsted weight yarn
scissors
embroidery needle for weaving in ends

Steps:

Ch 5, join in first ch to make a ring.

Ch 3, 13 dc in ring, join to top of first ch 3.

Ch 3, 1 dc in same space as ch 3, 2 dc in each stitch around. Join to top of ch 3.

Ch 3, 1 dc in same space as ch 3, *1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat directions between * * till end, join to ch 3.
Ch 3, 1 dc in same space as ch 3, *1 dc in each of next 2 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat steps between * * till end. Join to ch 3.
Ch 3, 1 dc in same space as ch 3, *1 dc in each of next 3 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat steps between * * till end. Join to ch 3.

For the next 10 rows, you will ch 3 and do 1 dc in each stitch around, join to ch 3.
Now you will ch 3, front and back post dc till end. Join to ch 3.
Ch 1, sc in same space as ch 1, sc in each of next 3 stitches. Sc decrease in next stitch.* You will only be decreasing 1 time, and this will be using 2 stitches total.* *4 sc, 1 dcrs,*, repeat steps between * * till end. Join to first sc. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Here's the front.

Here's the side.
