Material: Old rose or blue four-fold Germantown zephyr.
_To Make the Top of the Crown of the Hat_
1. With rose or blue yarn make 5 chain stitches.
2. Join the chain in a ring with slip stitch.

4. Put 2 single crochet stitches in each chain stitch in the ring (10 single crochet stitches in all). Tie a piece of sewing cotton in the last stitch to mark end of row. (See picture A, page 101.)
NOTE.—In making the turban, put the crochet hook through back loop only of the stitches already made. (See picture A, page 101.)
5. Second row: Put 2 single crochets in each stitch.
6. Third row: Put 1 single crochet in each of the first 2 stitches. Put 2 single crochets in third stitch.
NOTE.—When 2 or more stitches are put into 1 stitch in this way, it makes the work fuller or larger. This is called “increasing.”
Put 1 single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches. Put 2 single crochets in next stitch. Continue in this way until end of this row.
8. Fifth row: Increase, by putting 2 single crochets in every fifth stitch, and continue in this way until there are 8 full rows.
1. Make 58 chain stitches. Join in a ring with slip stitch.
2. Make 1 single crochet in each stitch of the chain.
3. Second row: Put 1 single crochet in each single crochet, taking up back loop only. Continue doing this until there are 6 full rows.
The turned-up band of gray is made in the same way as the band just finished.
1. Hold the right side of the crown toward you. Hold the top edge of the rose or blue band (not the chain-stitched edge) to the edge of the crown. Baste edges together. Catch edges of crown and band together with single crochet stitches.
2. Place gray band inside of the rose or blue band, with the right side against the inside (or wrong side) of the rose or blue band. Thread a zephyr needle or a darning needle with gray yarn, and sew the edges neatly together. (Picture B on page 101 shows the two bands spread open after they have been sewed together.)
3. Turn the gray band up on the outside of turban and sew a rosette on the left side of the crown and on the turned-up band.
Lay the ends of the two colors of zephyr together side by side.
With a large crochet hook (about No. 8) make 45 chain stitches. Break off yarns and fasten ends.
