I made these for my boys (not using a pattern) and they were very happy.
Using up almost 1 skein of Scheepjes Colour Crafter in the Red & in the Green.
Also using, for both hats, one skein Scheepjes Panda for the brim and pom poms, and using approximately 90-100 meters of the white Scheepjes Colour Crafter along with the Scheepjes Panda.
This is how I made the hats:
Using 5,5 mm hook and Scheepjes Colour Crafter using the Camel stitch (Half Double Crochet in the 3rd loop, stitch).
MR, 8 hdc in the mr (8)
crochet 4 rows hdc in third loop (8)
*hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (12)

*12 hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (56)
crochet 3 rows hdc in third loop (56)
*13 hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (60)
crochet 3 rows hdc in third loop (60)
*14 hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (64)
crochet 3 rows hdc in third loop (64)
*15 hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (68)
crochet 8 rows hdc in third loop (68)
*16 hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (72)
crochet 8 rows hdc in third loop (72)
*17 hdc in third loop, inc* rep rnd (76)
crochet 10 rows hdc in third loop (76) <- size for my 14 year old and my (big headed) 9 year old.
Try the hat on as you crochet and just keep adding stitches to find the size needed.
Depending on the size, the 8 rows and 10 rows are part of the last parts of the hat, to fit the head and not be to snug.
Brim:
Using 5,5 mm hook and 2 threads, white color, Scheepjes Panda & Scheepjes Colour Crafter.
Join the yarn around the back post of a stitch and chain 8.
Work the brim in the opposite direction from previous work.
Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and sc in the next 6. (7)
- Sl st around the back post of the next 2 stitches on the hat and turn. Do not work into the sl sts.
- Sc in the BLO, across (7). Ch 1 and turn.
- Sc back down (7).
Repeat from 1-3 until the brim is complete, turn the hat inside out and slip stitch through both sts to close the gap.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Pom poms:
Using 2 threads, white color, Scheepjes Panda & Scheepjes Colour Crafter to make the pom poms.
