Crochet an Interchangeable Flower Shell Hat





I made this crochet shell hat for my toddler. The 6 petal layered flowers can be fastened on and off from the button so she can wear different colored flowers on her hat.




Newborn Bulky Hat, instead a D hook, Use a J hook with this pattern: http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2015/01/crochet-baby-0-3-months-football-hat.html, when the increase stops, then start the shells in this pattern with J hook for the entire pattern.

I like the two layer flower with clear video directions. Can you tell us how to add a 3rd. layer to the flower?

I would like to make this pattern for my daughter and her two girls. However the instructions shown are only for 12mos-3yrs. Where can I find instructions for those sizes? Thank you.

see the box above with a list of hook sizes for different ages, so if its for an adult then check the box above which is a J hook and follow the pattern the same way and then check what age for your child which maybe a H hook.
