And this is my result;), purple shining with black. I think a worst weight yarn will look better:)
I found this on Internet without a link, so I use it. I am pretty sure we aren’t allowed to use her face, so I covered it! I think we can do it until tonight! Have fun! (Use a H crochet hook, at least, or 6.5 which is… I don’t remember right now, and a skein of yarn I think, or less, of worst weight yarn).
Ok, let’ write the pattern, in my interpretation because the chart is a little bit hard to read.
I will use a 5 mm (H) crochet hook and Red Heart Margareta 2 strands now ( you can use a worst weight yarn or a sport yarn, but this is what I have:D). If you want a larger hat you can use a 6-6.5 mm hook (J), or work loosely.

From here I didn’t respect the diagram, I wanted a more slouchy hat:)

For a more slouchy hat repeat last 3 rounds:D (round 12 + round 13+ round 14)

Repeat *_* all around, join with sl st in the 3rd ch from the beginning ch 3.
Round 17 (20): ch 3, 1 dc in each next 6 st, 2 dc tog, *1 dc in next 7 st, 2 dc tog*; repeat *_* all around, join with sl st in the 3rd ch from the beginning ch 3.
Round 18 (21): ch 3, 1 dc in next st, 2 dc tog, *1 dc in each next 2 st, 2 dc tog*; repeat *_* all around, join with sl st in the 3rd ch from the beginning ch 3.
Round 19 (22) If it-s still too large, repeat round 19, depends on your measures.
Round 20: ch 1, *skip the next st from the previous round, 1 sg in the next st, ch 1*; repeat all around
