1 Joining method I used is detailed here: http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/2008/10/granny-squaring.html. After I
pulled up the initial loop in the stitch from the knotted yarn, I started the sc in the same stitch since the loop pulled up
isn’t a full sc. I think this method helps the concentric rows look smoother and less broken up.
2 From these points on, as long as the pattern calls for both blue and grey blocks of color in a row, the colors for all other
rows following the first should be the same as the stitch you are crocheting in. If you know how basic circles/hats are
usually formed it is following that pattern, I’ve just written it out with the color changes so it’s hopefully less confusing.
Also, at these points I sc over the color I wasn’t using and didn’t actually break the yarn so I didn’t have a lot of loose
ends inside the hat.

Projector If you look closely, the

In black:
R1: sc 6 in Magic Circle (6)
R2: *(2sc in each st)*x6 (12)
Finish off, sew or slip stitch onto projector (stitch one st of cap
to one st of projector—each has 12 sts). The cap is larger than
the projector, so make sure the extra pushes inside.

3 If the directions are too hard to follow, just ch 12,
join, sc around 4 times, finish off, and sew onto the
hat. I like crocheting it directly on because I think it
makes it more sturdy and it also works up quicker
