Instructions

I got the instructions for this hat from a blogspot. I did however have to make adustments as the hat was coming out way too large. A friend of mine also made this hat and found the same issue...there is no gauge provided.

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute, Formal / Bridal, Traditional, Classic


Materials

Sugar and Cream cotton yarn, and 1 button.

What was your inspiration?

I made this for a friend who has cancer.

What are you most proud of?

I just love the end result. I also made the choice to use a different flower for my hat. I am happy with that decision. The flower is from Bonita Patterns. Lianka has chosen to share her design for it on Ravelry. She has generously done so, free of charge. Thank you Lianka! I have used this flower many times, it is my absolute favorite!
And thank you Stitch of Love for this lovely hat design!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be mindful of the size as you crochet. Both a friend and I found that this pattern made up larger for us than the pattern indicated, and there is no gauge provided to test beforehand.

Can you share your pattern exactly how you made it, including the petals? You said you had not made it as the pattern was written. I would like to try one for a friend. Thanks

Hi Diane. I am unable to tell you the exact adjustments that I made as I do so much of my work freehand. I can tell you that the hat was too large, so I stopped increasing when the hat was around 6 inches in diameter.
