Flapper Hat



Photobucket
Here is the Flapper Hat that can be bought at my Etsy Shop. I made the pattern from what I know about the anatomy of hats, so if something doesn't make sense, please let me know.

Materials:
1 ball of worsted yarn
US size G hook
Stitch marker (I use a safety pin)

Special Stitch:
Cluster (Cl)- *Yo, insert hook into ch space and draw up loop, yo and pull through 2 loops* 3 times, yo and pull through all loops on hook.

Pattern Note: this pattern is worked in rounds.

Hat-
Ch 4, sl st in last ch from hook
Rnd 1- ch 3, Cl with the ch 3 counting as the first loops drawn up (you will only draw up 2 more instead of three), *ch 3, Cl* 4 times, ch 3, join with sl st in first Cl. This should make a five petal flower look.
Rnd 2- *ch 5, sc in ch 3 sp, ch 5, sc in Cl* 5 times. Do not join as this will create a seam. Place stitch marker in last stitch.
Rnd 3- *ch 5, sc in next ch 5 sp from previous rnd, ch 5, sc is same ch 5 space* 9 times.
Rnds 4-7- *ch 5, sc in next ch 5 space* around. Don't worry as much about the amount of round as length, this should be about 4-5" in length.
Rnds 8-13- *ch 4, sc in next space* around, again it's all about length. This is justa suggestion of length, though it should fit most female heads.
Rnd 14- ch 1 * 3 sc in ch 4 sp, sc in sc* around end with sl st in ch. (64 stitches including ch)
Rnds 15-18- ch 1, sc around, end in sl st in ch.
Cut yarn, weave in ends.

Flower- (Borrowed this from CreativeYarn)
Ch 6, join to make ring with sl st.
Rnd 1- ch3 (count ad dc), 15 dc in ring,sl st to third ch of beg. ch3. (16 dc)
Rnd 2- ch3 (count ad dc), dc in same space as joining, *2dc in next dc*. Repeat from * around, sl st to third ch of beg. ch3. (32 dc)
Rnd 3- *ch4, skip next 2 dc, sc in next dc*. Repeat from * around ending with sl st to previous joining st.
Rnd 4- *7 dc in next ch4 space, sc in next sc*. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st to previous joining st.
Cut yarn, weave in ends.

Assembly:
Sew flower on the band of hat where the seam is. Simple as that.
