Materials needed: 2 contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn measuring tape stitchmarker Ihook N hook Stitches used: hdc - half double crochet dc-double crochet ch-chain This pattern is written assuming you know how to do the above stitches. Gauge: Gauge is not important in this pattern as we will be taking measurements to get the size we want. So if you crochet lose or tight it won't effect the outcome of the hat, you willjust have to do more or less rows than someone who crochets differently from you. The top of the hat is worked in a continuous round without joining. When starting the next round go right into the first stitch from the last round. Use a stitch marker to keep your place. I will specify where you will need to do joins.

You will continue in this manner until your hat is 1 1/2 -2 inches SHORTER of the desired FINISHED length for your size. To measure sides lay hat down flat and measure from crown to bottom.

With N Hook and Bow color
Cut 3 lengths of yarn. For an adult size they will need to be about 10 yards long. For smaller sizes you will use less, but I advise cutting them to this length to be sure they are long enough. There will be less yarn wasted than if you cut them too short and need to start over. (It's beter to cut them too long and stop chaining before you reach the end, than to have them too short) Holding all three strands together Chain an unspecified amount. It will depend on your gauge and your hat size. As your chain gets longer gauge it against your hat, you need it to be long enough to go around your hat with room to tie the bow. When you get it to the right length fasten off. Pull both ends as tight as you can, weave the ends up into yourchainandtrim. Now feed your chained ribbon throughout the spaces in your hat where we made the dc's. Go under one dc and over two. Have the two ends come out wherever you would like to bow to be. I prefer of centered in the front. Then tie your bow. The best way is to make a loop on each side, cross them, tuck one under the other and pull both loops. This will put the ends both on the bottom. It may take you a few tries to get it to lay the way you want. You can let the ends hang down as much or little as you like.
permanently you can make several different colors and switch them out to match different coast or outfits. Enjoy your hat and have fun with an also easily move the bow farther up on the hat or lower down on the brim by doing the dc row sooner or later. I wanted to write the pattern in a way that made it versatile for any gauge and so the crocheter could make each hat uniquely their own.
