Crochet a Baby Hat Tutorial

I created this Cute striped flower baby hat with medium worsted yarn and a J hook. If you need more assistance I uploaded a video for the hat and flower. The Video will show you how to do a color change and create this pretty puff stitch flower. 

If you tell others about my work, please only link back to my blog, but don't copy my patterns to your site. Also you can sell anything you make from my patterns, but don't sell the free pattern. Thank you!

If you want to make this hat bigger, than you need to change the hat size and add more increase rounds, here is the pattern to follow: http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2015/06/how-to-double-crochet-hat-with-video.html
