(To make a puff stitch: Yarn over, insert your hook through the space, yarn over, and then draw up the loop 4x. You should have five loops on the hook then ch1 to close it. Puff stitch is created).

Note: the number of rounds for increase it depends on the circumference of your head. If you have small head circumference you do only 4 rounds of increase, medium to large 5 or 6 rounds. Every round have increased 6 puff st.
R6-12: No increase. Put one puff st each space all the way around. Total puff st (small 30, medium to large 36 or 42). It depends on how depth/height of your hat ( +/- rows ).

As you noticed, I didn’t put holes for the buttons because the hole in between two stitches is just sufficient enough to insert the button.
