Baby Cowboy Hat

This time the request was for baby stuff.
I found pattern a pattern for the chaps and I thought I'd found one for the hat, as well.
Boy, was I wrong!
I've crocheted hats before. They are mostly a formula.
You start with a flat circle then crochet evenly around the sides. If you want a brim, you do some increases. The pattern I found was increase row, then even row, increase row, then even row...
I know sometimes it's hard to see where a pattern is going, but this one looked like a lumpy placemat or road kill!
I frogged it.
I decided to come up with my own pattern.
After 4 tries, I think I've come up with a winner:

I've created a Google Drive document with the pattern you can print. Here's the link.

Here's the pattern:

Worsted weight yarn

size H crochet hook

gauge:  12 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in sc

This hat is worked from the top of the crown out to the brim.

1. Chain 7, sc into the 2nd chain from the hook, sc into the next 4 ch, working down the opposite side of the chain, sc into the back of the next 6 ch, join with a sl st.  {there are NOT the usual multiple stitches in the ends to round them out.}  [12]
2. ch 1, 2sc each st, join with a sl st. [24]
3. ch1,sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 8 st, 2 sc in next 3 st, sc in next 8 st, 2 sc in next 2 st,  join with a sl st. [29]
4. ch1, sc in each st around, join with a sl st. [29]  {no increases on this row, it will help you to make the dent in the top of the hat.}
5. ch 1, 2sc in next 5 st, sc in the next 4 st, 2 sc in the next 10 st, sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in next 6 st,  join with a sl st. [50]
6. ch 1, sc in each st around, join with a sl st. [50]

7-15.  repeat row 6 [50]

16. ch 1, working in back loops only, sc in each st around [50]
17. ch 1, sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in each of the next 20 st, 1 sc in the next 6 st, 2 sc in each of the next 20 st, 1 sc in the last 3 st. [88] {the six stitches at the front and back that are not increased will keep those areas from rolling up as the brim is extended.} Note: if your joining seam tends to wander diagonally rather than be straight, adjust the number of increase stitches so that the 6 non increase stitches are centered at the front and back of the hat.

18 - 21. ch 1, sc in each st around, join with a sl st. I like to finish off with an invisible join. You can find a demonstration here. https://youtu.be/bsHggQGFq3A  Finish off and weave in ends at brim and inside top of hat.

If you want a hat band, measure around the base of the brim. With a contrasting color of yarn, make a chain a few inches longer than that measurement.  Slip stitch or single crochet into each chain and finish off.  Attach to hat.

Crease the top and pinch the front to shape the crown.
