Width at Bottom: 17 inches
Middle Width: 15 inches

Pattern Overview:

This hat is designed to be worked flat without extensive gathering at the top, featuring an introduction to short rows. It's a one size fits all pattern, adjustable through hook size or yarn weight changes.

Instructions:

Starting:

Create a slip knot and insert your crochet hook.
Chain 37.

Row 1:

Start in the second chain from the hook and slip stitch in the next 4 chains (place a stitch marker on the first and fourth slip stitches).
Single crochet in the remaining 32 chains. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 2 (Setup Row for Texture):

Single crochet in the first stitch (place a stitch marker), working under both loops.
For the next 31 stitches, single crochet in the back loop only.
End the row with four slip stitches in the last four stitches (place a stitch marker on the first of these slip stitches). Chain 1 and turn.

In Rows 3 to 6 (Short Rows):

Repeat the established pattern (4 slip stitches, single crochets in the back loop only, and ending with a single crochet under both loops) but with decreasing numbers of single crochets for each subsequent row to create a short row effect.
After Row 6, instead of turning and starting a new row immediately, continue into the next stitch past the marked stitch to elongate the row.

Row 7:

Begin with 4 slip stitches, then 31 single crochets in the back loop only.
End with a single crochet under both loops. Chain 1 and turn.

Repeat Pattern:

Continue repeating Rows 2 to 7 until you achieve a total of 67 rows or until you have the desired length for the toque.

Closing the Toque:

After completing all rows, cut your yarn leaving a long tail for sewing (about 60 inches).
Use the mattress stitch to sew the sides together along the long edge.
To close off the top, thread the yarn through ridges at the top, pulling gently to gather. Secure and weave in ends.
