American Hat Crochet Pattern

I was searching the web and noticed a couple of American/ Patriotic hats out there and though I would put one together myself. I hope you enjoy it. Size: This is a baby size 9-12 months Note: You can always add stitches to make this bigger.
Materials:
I just used what I had in my yarn collection I used a worsted weight yarn. I use mostly Red Heart Super Saver yarn. They seem to have all the colors under the moon for a great price. I used a Red, White and Blue Size H/8 - 5.00 Hook TapestryNeedle The glitter stars I found in my button collection. I'm not sure where those were purchased, sorry
