Row 3: Ch1, Slip st in next sc, 2sc in next, HDC in next 14 sc, 2sc in next, skip 1 st, slip st into last.
slip stitch down the side of the brim,, and Single crochet around until, you reach the next side and slip stitch to finish.

This is a picture of the hat puffed out to get the peaky blinders to look pinch the top front of the hat and brim together, I fin if I use a slip stitch to keep the brim and hat in place it stays on the head better.
