Special Stitches

Waistcoat Stitch (wst)

The waistcoat stitch is basically a single crochet stitch that is worked between the 2 legs of the stitch, rather than under the top loops of the stitch.
A tutorial follows the pattern below.

Decrease Stitches
The decrease sts (sc2tog) will be worked like the stitch they are being worked into. This means if you are making a sc2tog and the 2 stitches are a wst and sc in the bl, the first part of the sc2tog will be worked as a wst (in the center of the stitch) and the second part of the sc2tog will be worked under the bl of the sc. Whatever the stitch you are making the decrease into is the way the stitch will be worked.


Notes:

Multiple of 5+4
Initial ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
You can make your slip stitches tightly as we will not be working into them.

The decrease sts (sc2tog) will be worked like the stitch they are being worked into. This means if you are making a sc2tog and the 2 stitches are a wst and sc in the bl, the first part of the sc2tog will be worked as a wst (in the center of the stitch) and the second part of the sc2tog will be worked under the bl of the sc. Whatever the stitch you are making the decrease into is the way the stitch will be worked. If this is too confusing you can simply work sc2tog as you would normally – it will change the way the top of the hat looks.

If you’d like to increase the hat height, work more repeat rounds.
