UnCuff of Hat
Note: You need to know the number of stitches you have after the join because you will subtract that number from the total number of stitches you need for the hat. This will result in the number of stitches you need to work for the foundation hdc for the body of the hat. I needed a total of 78 sts for the sample hat shown which is an Adult Medium size. I had a total of 36 sts after finishing my bill, so 78-36= 42 sts I need to make for the body of my hat.
Rnd 1: Continue working from the slip stitches used to fold brim, work 36 (39, 42, 45) foundation half double crochet, then, working into the first slip stitch of the brim, join to work in the round by doing a half double crochet through front loop only (TFLO) of the sl sts that closed the brim to the end, join with a slip stitch into the first foundation half double crochet.

Do Not Turn.
Repeat rnd 2 once more. Fasten off.
