Materials:

Size 6, super bulky yarn (4.5oz./127g (90 yd/82 m), approximately 50-85 yards (depending on hat size), 10 yards for rose. I prefer Michaels Brand Loops & Threads Cozy Wool, you can also use Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick or Hometown USA, but be sure to check gauge first because it is slightly thicker and you may need to go down a hook size (results will vary depending on yarn used) N15/10mm Crochet Hook (or size to meet gauge) J10/6mm Crochet Hook (or size to meet gauge) Tapestry Needle Stitch Marker

Gauge Working in the Round:

0-3 Months - First 3 Rounds in Pattern = 4 ! Inches with N Hook 3-6 Months - First 3 Rounds in Pattern = 3 " - 4 Inches with N Hook 6-12 Months - First 3 Rounds in Pattern = 4 " Inches with N Hook 1-3 Years - First 3 Rounds in Pattern = 4 Inches with N Hook 3-10 Years - First 3 Rounds in Pattern = 4 ! Inches with N Hook Please be sure to check your gauge before starting, as tension can vary greatly from person to person and depending on the yarn used. Adjust hook size up or down in order to obtain proper gauge. I also give many measurements throughout the pattern so you can see if youre on track for the proper size.

Hat Sizes:

0-3 Months, Fits Head Circumference 14-15 Inches & Height 5 Inches 3-6 Months, Fits Head Circumference 15-16 Inches & Height 5-5.5 Inches 6-12 Months, Fits Head Circumference 16-18 Inches & Height 6-6.5 Inches 1-3 Years, Fits Head Circumference 18-19 Inches & Height 6.5-7 Inches 3-10 Years, Fits Head Circumference 19-20.5 Inches & Height 7-7.5 Inches Sizes are approximate based on the average for each age. When available, please use head measurements, rather than age, as children's heads tend to vary quite a bit. If your child is between sizes I recommend going with the larger size to allow the most room for growth.

Special Stitch/Cross Stitch:

sk one st, hdc in next st. yarn over (2 loops on hook), (carrying yarn in front of hdc just created) insert hook through sk st, yarn over & pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over & pull through all 3 loops on hook. If you are having difficulties learning this stitch, try doing an internet search. There are many helpful tutorials available on Google and YouTube offering step by step instructions for this specific stitch.

Rose Embellishments

These simple rose inspired flowers can be made in any size by simply adjusting the number of beginning chain stitches. Instructions below are based on the size roses used for hats in sizes 1-3, & 3-10 years. You may want to adjust the size slightly smaller for the 0-6, & 6-12 months sizes. Using J Hook For Large Rose Ch 40 leaving 10 inch beginning tail Row 1. work (hdc, dc) in 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across, sl st in last ch, fasten off leaving a 10 inch tail. Starting at the end with the tails, curl/roll flower into a spiral shape, (the tails should be in front of flower). Using a tapestry needle weave the tail ends through the front center of the flower to the backside. Working with one tail at a time, weave in and out of the back of the flower, through the chain stitches, until the flower is completely intact and in the desired shape. Use remaining tail ends to affix to hat. For Small Roses Follow the instructions for the large rose above, changing the beginning chain to 20.

Daisy Embellishment

This Daisy Embellishment can be adjusted to any size by using a different size yarn and hook. I prefer using the same yarn as the hat. Using N Hook Step 1. Leaving a 10 inch beginning tail, make a magic circle (several tutorials are available online if you are unfamiliar with the magic circle), ch 2 (counts as 1st hdc), 5 hdc in ring, join with sl st in top of ch 2. Step 2. Ch2, (2dc, sl st) in same st as ch 2. In next st, *sl st, ch 2, 2dc, sl st*, repeat from * to * in next 4 stitches (you should have a total of 6 petals), join with sl st in ch1 space, fasten off & weave in the loose ends, leaving the remaining tail ends long enough to affix to the hat.
