The snap is because the front of the hat folds down onto the top of the brim, and the snap holds them together.

I am almost done, but confused on how to and what to insert into the brim to make it stand up. I don't know what to use for the plastic for the brim (why a snap?), and how to attach it. Any ideas?

Jackie - Thank you! You can use any piece of plastic or heavy interfacing for the brim.

Lovely hat. My husband bought one in Japan while on holiday (something similar to yours) and he loves it very much. I m thinking of "why not i knit him one". I have saved your pattern, hoping to get the suitable yarn, my worry is that i might not be able to buy the brim here ;( Anyway, nice hat for someone special.. Hi Kristen,

Where do you pick up the stitches for the brim. Is it on the ban part or what? Maybe this is truly a senior moment for me Brenda I am stuck on the brim. Please help!

Put the elastic around the whole lower inside of the hat, including the back piece. I didn't turn the edge under but you could. It's been a while but I think I machine sewed the elastic on.

Do you PU sts. in every st. or 3, then skip one, as you would for a sweater band. also the back piece that comes down adds to the circumference. Do you put the elastic only on the sides after the brim and do you include the back piece. Did you turn your edge under? How did you sew on the elastic?? I think you did a great job of figuring out the design. This is the type of cap my son wears and it will make a great present. Thank you. Louise I have gotten all the way to the brim.
