It is always good to be sure you are going on the right track by counting your stitches at end of each round. Each round should increase by the same number of stitches you started with.
For example if you start your round with 12 stitches, then the increasing number of stitches will be as stated below:-
Round 1 - 12 Stitches
Round 2 - 24 Stitches(+12)
Round 3 - 36 Stitches(+12)
Round 4 - 48 Stitches(+12)
Round 5 - 60 Stitches(+12)
Round 6 - 72 Stitches(+12)
.....and so on....
And the pattern for increasing the stitches will be in a uniform way as mentioned below:-
Round 1--Start with a magic ring, make 12 DC(Double Crochet) (12)
Round 2--2DC around (24)
Round 3--DC1, 2DC in next stitch(36)
Round 4--DC 2, 2DC in next stitch(48)
Round 5--DC 3, 2DC in next stitch(60)
Round 6--DC 4, 2DC in next stitch(72)
.....and so on.
Lets start with the hat.
