Embroidery:
Cut 8 yards of $\mathrm{C}\mathrm{C}_{1}$ fold in half, place folded end around a doorknob, twist the other end until tightly wound. Thread tapestry needle, then bring tapestry needle to center, hold the two ends together and allow the yam to twist onto itself. Tie a knot at the end opposite the tapestry needle. Use this strand to create the center 4-petal lazy daisy and th $_{1\textcircled{-}}$ single petals in the center of the CC ring. With a single strand of yam, use crown inc's as a guide, make 3-petal and 4-petal lazydaisies outside the $\bigcirc$ ning. With larger hook, beg at the beg of md, sl st around the first md of hdc's and the $\textcircled{>}\textcircled{1}$ md of hdc's from the trim.
Finishing:
Sew trim to hat, just above the band, using whipstitch. Sew side edges of trim together. Block hat over a dinner plate, if desired.

Lazy Daisy
\*With threaded tapestry needle, insert needle from WS to RS of pc and draw length of yam through. Insert tip of needle back through same sp, then through a sp a few sts away, wrap yam around tip of needle to fom a loop, then pull needle through. Insert needle into 1 st away, then pull through, wrapping the yam around the loop — 1 petal made.
