Crochet Hat Brim Transition Planner
Turn your own finished hat-body count and washed gauge into a round-by-round brim plan. Then use the fabric symptom to decide what to change.
Your project
Count the last complete body round before the brim begins.
Stitches in the measured span.
Rounds in the same span.
Measure from the body-to-brim hinge to the outer edge, not across the full hat.
Profile adjustments are first-pass targets, not universal constants. The lay-flat gate decides whether to keep them.

Work one planned round, then lay the brim down without stretching it. Keep the next target only if the fabric agrees.

The calculation models circumference growth from your washed stitch and round gauge. Crochet compressibility, stitch pattern, fiber, hook, and working tension still affect the physical result; preserve a lifeline and evaluate every round.
