Step by Step Guide on Sedona Mosaic Crochet Hat Pattern:

Foundation Chain:
- Start with color C1 and a 4mm (G-6) hook.
- Chain (ch) the number of stitches needed for the ribbing height you desire. For most adult sizes, this is typically around 7-10 chains.
Work Ribbing Rows:
- Row 1: Starting in the second ch from the hook, make a single crochet (sc) in each chain across. Turn.
- Row 2: Ch 1, then sc in the back loop only (blo) of each stitch across. Turn.
- Repeat Row 2 until the ribbing strip fits snugly around the head (refer to your desired size for exact row count).
- Join the two ends of the ribbing strip with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a band.

Attach Body Yarn:
- Switch to the 5.5mm (I-9) hook and attach color C2.
- Work one round of single crochet (sc) evenly along the edge of the ribbing band. Place one sc in each row of ribbing.
Set Up for Mosaic Pattern:
- Once you’ve completed the setup row, you’re ready to start alternating between colors C1 and C2 in a mosaic stitch pattern.
- Each round of the mosaic pattern will combine sc stitches in the blo and double crochet (dc) stitches in the front loop only (flo).

Round 1 (Using C1):
- Mosaic Stitch Technique: With color C1, alternate between sc in the blo and dc in the flo.
- Work 1 sc blo, followed by 1 dc flo, and repeat around the entire hat.
- When you reach the end of the round, join with a sl st, but complete the last yo with color C2 for a seamless color change.
Round 2 (Using C2):
- With color C2, continue the mosaic pattern.
- In this round, alternate sc blo and dc flo again, placing each dc flo in the sc blo of the previous round, and vice versa.
- Join with a sl st and switch back to color C1.
Repeat Mosaic Rounds:
- Continue repeating the mosaic stitch rounds, alternating between C1 and C2 each round.
- Each time you switch colors, complete the last sc of the round by pulling through with the new color to create a smooth transition.

Start Decreasing:
- When the hat reaches the desired height (just before shaping the crown), begin decreasing by skipping every few stitches as you sc blo around.
- For example, work 2 sc blo, then skip 1 st, repeating this decrease pattern around.
Continue Decreasing in Mosaic Pattern:
- Keep working decreases while alternating colors, gradually reducing the stitch count until only a small number of stitches remain.
