- Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around (12).
- Round 3: 1 sc, inc around (18).
- Round 4: 2 sc, inc around (24).

3. Join the Crown to the Brim

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
5. Assembly
- Wrap the red band around the hat, positioning it towards the bottom of the crown, and sew it in place.
- If desired, use beige or light brown yarn to add some straw-like details around the brim by embroidering small stitches to give it texture.
- Attach the keychain ring if you’re making it into a keychain.
Final Touches:
- Details: You can add small embellishments or charm to make it more unique.
- Size Adjustment: If you want the hat to be even smaller or larger, adjust the number of chains in the initial rows and the rounds in the crown accordingly.
Now you have a cute miniature version of Luffy’s hat perfect for a keychain! Enjoy your crocheting!
