• (2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next st); rep around. (24 hdc)
  Save

Note: At the end of these increase rounds, your circle should fit comfortably over the crown of the intended wearer’s head. Adjust the number of increase rounds for smaller or larger sizes.

3. Body of Hat

Rounds 9–18:

• Work 1 hdc in each st around for 10 rounds or to desired hat length (try on as you go or measure against the head/styrofoam form for depth).

Continue moving the stitch marker up at the start of each new round.

Finishing Top Edge

• When the hat reaches desired depth (usually after 10 non-increase rounds for adult), work these final stitches to smooth the edge:
  • 1 sc in next st.
  • 1 sl st in next st.
  • Fasten off yarn and weave in ends.

4. Attach Flower

• Use your flower’s starting tail to sew it onto the finished hat, positioning it wherever you prefer (side is recommended).
• Stitch securely with your tapestry needle, weaving the yarn through both the flower base and several stitches of the hat.
• Make several passes until the flower is firmly attached, then secure and weave in ends on the inside of the hat.
  Save

Pattern Correction

• Correction: Pattern uses half double crochet (hdc) throughout the increases and body. The “ch 2” at the beginning of Round 1 is not counted as a stitch.
• Adjusting Size: If making for a child or smaller head, stop increases when circle fits crown of head, then begin body rounds.
• Sewing Flower: For larger or heavier flowers, use extra passes with needle and yarn for stability.

Tips

• Use stitch marker consistently to avoid losing your round start, especially in continuous rounds.
• Try the hat on (or measure) before starting body rounds for best fit.
• If the hat opening is slightly too large at the end, add 1 round of sc before finishing to snug the fit.
• To avoid visible seam or steps, finish with a slip stitch and fasten off neatly.
• Weave in all tails securely.
