Perfect crochet hat brims

Fact 1: My husband is working out of town right now, in ft. Saint James. I thought I was gonna get to go see him this weekend but there's way too much snow to drive way up north, so I'm dickered.
Fact 2: My sister is probably the most gorgeous woman I've ever met. She is a body builder, she has beautiful hair and her makeup is always different and perfect.
Fact 3: I just drank a bunch of my moms secret freezer vodka and I am lit af.
            Anyways I've been getting order after order for pussy hats, international women's day is in sight after all. But I've had the worst time figuring out sizes for the brims. I've frogged half of my work lately, good thing I'm patient. So I came up with a perfect brim for adult women's hats made with Bernat Chunky, or any size 6 chunky yarn.


So here it is you guys.
With a size 7mm crochet hook,chain 47
Yep, that's the magic number 47
I know, I know, Bernat chunky says to use an 8mm hook, well tough titty, I used a 7 because I'm a straight up rebel and I make my own rules.
So chain 47. Then connect with first stitch.
Row 1. CH 3 and then DC in each stitch around, attach with slst to first CH 3
Row 2-3CH 2, FPDC into first stitch, BPDC into second stitch, repeat around, attach to first CH 2
Row 4. CH 1, SC around. Then tie off and we've in end
I then like to flip the brim upside down, attach yarn and SC around the other side of the brim too.
So you have two rows of FPDC and BPDC, sandwiched by rows of SC on each side.
Regardless though, 47 is the magic number for chunky 6 yarn and a 7mm hook. If you want an adult women's hat.

On another note entirely, I've been busting my big, hairy balls making pussy hats lately here's some recent pics.


  
I've taken to adding little tags to each one that I found at dollar tree, I think it makes them look more professional. Plus I tie a ribbon around and put a lollipop inside each one. Why you may ask? Because I am awesome of course.

My ssris withdrawal experience, day 1.

               This is going to be a detour from a solely crocheting blog for about a month(there will still be some though, don't worry) Today is day 1 without any Lexapro. In the last few months I have gone from 20mg to 2.5mg, the only major side effect during that time was fatigue and anger. However I have come off an SSRI twice before, Zoloft when I was 13 and Paxil when I was 27, and I know that it's once you quit the last bit,thats when the real withdrawals start. I see a ton of people online asking about withdrawals and also weight issues, so I though this way, anyone thinking about quitting can read this and get some damn answers for once.                 I went on Lexapro about 2 years ago for anxiety and I also have a type of OCD called pure O. The problem is that ssris do two very bad things to me, they make me crave food and alcohol so badly that it's not even really a craving, I can't say no, a...

Crochet chunky bun hat

I had so much fun making these hats yesterday and today, well not hahaha kinda fun, but it was relaxing. But then it came time to take pictures, and since I don't have another humans head to borrow, I have to be the one in the pics. That's normally fine but lately it's getting harder and harder  to get a decent pic, I look so old and tired. I used to be young and shiny, I swear 2016 aged me by like 5 years, well that and the drinking. At least the hats are gorgeous, and I'm gonna wear one out tonight, yup that's right, yours truly is actually going out. Me and Ryan are having some post dinner drinks with some friends, but since it's dry January I guess we'll be going out for some o'douls, sigh. So while I'm being forced to socialize while sober, you can make up some pretty hats too with this free pattern. See I look like I'm 1000 Supplies 8mm hook Bernat chunky yarn(about a third of a 300g skein) CH 7 Slst into th...

Crochet pussy hat

Wow, I can't believe I've managed to get anything done in the last few days. After experiencing a major depressive meltdown, panic attacks and developing a cold, I've been pretty much out of comish. But I somehow managed to create an extremely simple pattern for a pussy hat. So far I've had one order for plain pink, two for pink and red, one for black and grey and one pure black. I'm still not functioning quite yet, and I'm drinking too much. Being crazy is hard when you're still sane enough to know you're crazy. I honestly can't believe I survived this as a child, it's a living hell. I'm very lucky to have my hilarious family and husband. Yeah somebody actually married this crazy bitch. I wouldn't get through this without vulgar humour constantly being thrown at me. So this is one thing I still managed to do, and like all my patterns, it's deceptively simple. Pattern You will need 8mm crochet hook ...
