Materials
I used ww yarn, H hook for hat and F hook for loops.
HAT
With larger hook (H), Ch 4, join
Row 1: Ch 1, 8 sc in ring. Do not join, use marker to show beginning of rows.
Work in back loop only on rows 2 through 20, leaving the front loop free to use later in the pattern. Numbers in ( ) at end of rows, indicates total number of stitches you should have at the end of the row.
Row 2: 2 sc in each st around. (16)
Row 3: (1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (24)
Row 4: (1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (32)
Row 5: (1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (40)
Row 6: 1 sc in each st around (40)
Row 7: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 sts) around (48)
Row 8: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 5 sts) around (56)
Row 9: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 6 sts) around (64)
Rows 10 - 20: 1 sc in each st around (64)
AT END OF ROW 20, SL ST IN BOTH LOOPS OF NEXT ST.
SWITCH TO F HOOK
CHAIN LOOPS (the chain loops are placed in the unworked loops of the sc stitches)
With smaller hook, Ch 1, turn, sl st in free loop of last sc made, ch 10, sl st in same loop.
Sl st in free loop of next st, ch 10, sl st in same st. continue for 6 rounds or until it is as "fluffy" as you want it. Fasten off and weave in ends.

H hook will give a 23" hat
Materials
2 oz ww yarn
Number in ( ) at end of rows states number of stitches for that row.
Beginning ch 3 counts as 1st stitch. If you want to increase the length of the hat from crown to rim, repeat row 6.
Row 1: ch 4, 11 dc in 1st ch, join in 4th ch of beg ch. (12 sts)
Row 2: Ch 3, dc in same st as join, 2 dc in each st around. Join in top of ch 3. (24 sts)
Row 3: Ch 3, dc in same st as join, (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) around. Join in top of ch 3. (36 sts)
Row 4: Ch 3, dc in same st as join, (dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st) around. Join in top of ch 3. (48 sts)
Row 5: Ch 3, dc in same st as join, (dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st) around. Join in top of ch 3. (60 sts)
Row 6: Ch 3, dc in next st, around, Join in top of ch 3. (60 sts)
Row 7: Repeat row 6.
NOTE: The next 4 rows make up a "butterfly stitch". Here's a tutorial with pictures. BUTTERFLY STITCH
Row 8: Ch 3, dc in next 24 sts, ch 10, sk 10 sts, dc in next 25 sts. Join to top of ch 3. (50 dc's and 10 chs) Note: Place a marker between the 5th and 6th skipped stitch on row 7, for stitch placement later in pattern.
Row 9: Repeat row 8.
Row 10: Repeat row 8.
Row 11: Ch 3, dc in next 24 sts, ch 5, insert hook in space marked on row 7, and draw up a loop around the chains of the previous 3 rows (see tutorial) and complete as a sc. ch 5, dc in next 25 sts. Join in top of ch 3.
Row 12: Ch 1, sl st in same st as join, (ch 1, sl st in next st) repeat to ch 5, sl st in each of next 10 chains, sl st in next st, (ch 1, sl st in next st) around. join in 1st sl st.
