Crocheted hats — especially whimsical witch hats, wizard hats, sun hats, and cottagecore brims — have a personality all their own. They slouch, they swoop, they curl, they tilt. But if you’ve ever tried to coax a brim into holding a crisp curve or a dramatic swoop, you already know the truth: yarn alone doesn’t always obey.

Crocheting in rounds is a popular technique for making hats, doilies, coasters, and many other projects. But if you’ve ever noticed your rounds turning into a hexagonal shape instead of a smooth circle, you’re not alone. This happens because of the way increases are spaced around the round.
