I thought that I would have to add some ribbing or a piece of elastic in the back of the hat. Imagine my surprise that I didn't need need to add anything - the yarn itself, \u003cem\u003ePrism Symphony\u003c\/em\u003e, provided enough stretch to allow the hat to fit a typical adult head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast On - Crocheted cast on around a knitting needle. (You can substitute a crocheted chain where you pick up the back bump of each stitch if you prefer.) I like this cast on for Linen Stitch because it is a little stretchier than long-tail cast on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinen Stitch is a slipped stitch pattern. You will only work with one color per round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA crocheted chain is added to the hat above the brim to smooth the transition from brim to solid color.
