Button-Flower Beanie

So last week I was feeling lethargic and robotic and much like a machine. As I'm sure most mother's do sometimes. When the girls were finally in bed I was happy to go through my stash of yarn and start creating. I realized that I hadn't made my youngest daughter a hat, and so I began. I really am so pleased with how this turned out. It's my first original hat pattern. It's a very simple pattern, and can be easily customized for larger or smaller sizes.

R1) Ch 4, join to form ring, (sc, ch 3, sc) 5 times.
R2) (Sc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, sc) in each loop.
R3) Switching colours and working behind first row of petals, (sc around the 'spoke' or base of petal, ch 4) rep around.

  1. Congratulations on your first original hat pattern. This hat is just lovely, Connie. The color combination is wonderful and you did a terrific job with the stitching. And the button is the perfect touch. Very nice!

  2. I have been looking for a hat I can make with a button on it! I don't know what my fascination is with buttons, but this is the first one I found that I liked. I will probably do different colors, but I am definitely going to try it out. :) Thanks for sharing.

  4. WOW great pattern I enjoyed doing this. I am just starting to teach myself to crochet and this was a great pattern to start with. All i need to do is work out how I can make it 1 size smaller and 1 size bigger so it fits all of my grand daughters.
