About this template
The radial chart grows from a small centre through evenly distributed double-crochet increases, with the increase positions offset between rounds. It is a crown planner, not a universal hat size: the finished diameter and side depth must come from the maker's gauge and intended fit.
Make it yours
Change the starting count or stitch height, stop increasing at the measured crown diameter, then add non-increase rounds for depth and a tested edge treatment.
