Who here loves the Great Gatsby?… -raises hand in air- “I do, I do!”
There’s something about the dazzling decor, glamorous dresses and endless drama that never ceases to entertain me and my love for all things vintage! 
Recently I’ve seen dozens of Gatsby inspired parties and outfits, so I thought it would be fun to create a hat inspired by that wonderful era!

    When you say "Note: You'll want to crochet rounds 18 – 21 from the inside of the hat, not the outside.", do you mean that we will turn our work so that the inside of the hat is facing us? I'm not quite sure what to do here.

    I think "want to crochet rounds 18-21 from the inside means pretty much this (maybe simpler way to instruction): At the end of round 17, chain 2 and turn the work (which means you are heading in the backwards direction on the (other side – i.e. inside of the hat. You could actually turn the hat inside out after you finish Row 17..chain 2, turn and do row 18 "backward" (rather than in the round like 1-17)..turn the hat inside out, and do rows 18-21 in the 'round'. When done, turn the hat back – right side out.

    What does it mean to chain two and then double crochet into the "same stitch"? Thanks!

    Dear Olivia,thank you for this nice pattern,with clear and precise instruction! I finish my hat for 3 hours and it is so nice. Only that I change is start row-I started first with chain 2,like you write,but it loooked so bad where every row is finishing,so I started with chain 1,and my hat is perfect. Wish you success in your work,and hope you give us some interesting new pattern ๐Ÿ™‚

    This is a beautiful hat and pattern, very easy to follow…however when I made my hat it turned out to be huge. Could my tension have been too loose?

      My tension is pretty even, so if your is usually on the looser side, maybe try using a smaller hook? Your increase circle should measure roughly 6.5 inches in diameter, before you crochet rounds of single half double crochets.
      Hope this helps!

    Great pattern, I have a very small head so used aran with 6mm hook, just added 6 rows in the body and 2 extra increasing rows on the brim. Looks great.

    Just finished this hat in a light blue and it is lovely. Have also made your 1920's Cloche hat a couple of times. Thanks for all your great free patterns you are such an inspiration to such a novice as myself. I only started crocheting less than a year ago and can't stop, it's like an addiction !!!! Xx

    125g of bulky yarn unfortunately wasn't enough for me to completely finish the pattern (I used Loops and Threads: Woolike Chunky) though I did get through row 18. I didn't have time to run and get more yarn so I just single crocheted a border out of matching yarn and finished it off. It looks absolutely darling! Giving it to my Great Aunt who has cancer, so I think it'll make her feel pretty ^_^ Thank you for posting the pattern!

    I am having trouble starting with row three. I keep getting 25 stitches in row 3 (if you count the beginning chain two), which subsequently means I keep having increased numbers of stitches as I go along. By the end of row 5 I had 44 or 45 rather then the 40 stated. Please help.

    If I need to use a sz 4 yarn to match another piece in a set, what hook size would you use? Would it be accurate to say the reference you provided in a comment would be the swatch size? The comment answer was “increase circle should measure 6.5 inches, before the rounds of SC & HDC.”
