Magic Circle

To start, we will create a magic circle. Follow these steps:

2. Chain 2, which will count as the first double crochet.
3. Make 11 double crochet stitches into the circle.
4. Close the circle and slip stitch onto the first double crochet.
5. Tighten the circle.

Increasing Rows in Red

Next, we will increase the size of the hat using red yarn. Here's what to do:

1. Chain 2 and make a double crochet into the same stitch.
2. Make 2 double crochet stitches into each stitch around.
3. Slip stitch into the third loop of the previous row and tighten.
4. Repeat the above steps for the next two rows.

Adding Black Color

Now it's time to add the black color to create the distinctive Pokeball design. Follow these instructions:

3. Make 1 double crochet in each stitch around.
4. Slip stitch into the third loop of the previous row and tighten.
5. Repeat the above step for the next two rows.
6. The last row should consist of half double crochet stitches for a nice border.

Weaving in Ends

Before moving on to the circle part, make sure to weave in all the ends to give your hat a neater finish. Simply use a sewing needle to secure the yarn tails.

Starting the Circle Part

Now it's time to create the circle part of the Pokeball. Here's how:

1. Use a 4.25mm hook and a white yarn to create a magic circle.
2. Chain 2.

4. Close the circle and slip stitch into the third loop of the first stitch.

Sewing the Circle Part

To attach the circle part to the hat, follow these steps:

1. Leave a long tail of yarn and thread it through a sewing needle.
2. Position the circle part on the front of the hat and sew it into place.
3. Stretch the hat slightly to ensure the circle lies flat.
4. Tie and secure the yarn tails together and trim off any excess.
