Formula
#pegsX2=#A
#A-8=#B
#B/4=#C
#pegs/5=#D
#pegs/2=#E
#E+#D=#F
A is the number of rows you will need to do total for the brim.
B is the number of rows you will do that aren't corners.
C is the number of rows you will do between your corners
D is the number of rows you will do in black for your band at the base. Also the number of pegs you will use for the brim.
E is the number of rows you will do after the band area at the base.
F is the number of rows you will do total for the top of the hat.
Ex: for 36 peg loom
36 x 2= 72
72-8=64
64/4=16
36/6=6
36/2=18
18+6=24
Lets write up our pattern.
Note: Always skip the first peg when coming back from the even number rows. Unless you are wrapping and turning then you will need to work the peg. So it will be skip1 purl5.
