Note: You will need a stitch marker to mark your place when we begin working in rounds

Using your 6.0 mm hook

R1: Ch 11, beg in the 2nd ch from the hook and work 1 sl st in the back loop of each ch across, ch 1, turn (10)
R2: 1 sl st in the bl of each st across, ch 1, turn (10)
R3-R73: rep R2 (10)

At this point your band should be 16″ long without stretching (it will stretch up to 24″)

Note: You are now working along the row ends of the last 73 rows.

R1: 1 sc in each row end across (73)

You will now begin to work in rounds. You may want to mark your place with a stitch marker.

R2: 1 sc in the bl of each st around, sl st to the 1st sc to join (73)

Using your 9.0 mm hook

R1: ch 3, work 1 tr in the bl of st before the sl st join, (skip 1 st, work 1 tr in the next st, work 1 tr in the skipped st) 35 times. Skip the last st, sl st to the 1st st of the round (72)
R2: 1 fphdc around each crossed tr st around, sl st to the first fphdc (36) (gauge: 4 sts = 3″) *not too tight!
R3: ch 2 (counts as the 1st hdc), work 1 hdc in the bl of each st around, sl st to the top of the ch 2 to join (36)
R4: ch 2, work 1 dc in the bl of st before the sl st join, (skip 1 st, work 1 dc in the next st, work 1 dc in the skipped st) 35 times. Skip the last st, sl st to the 1st st of the round (36)
R5: ch 2, in next st and each st around work 1 bldc, sl st to join (36)
R6: repeat R5
R7: ch 2, (work 1 fphdc around the next 2 dc) to the last dc, work 1 fphdc around the last dc and the first ch 2 [18]
R8: (fphdc around the next 2 fphdc) 9 times [9]
R9: (fpsc around the next 2 fphdc) 4 times, skip the last st and sl st to the 1st fpsc [4]

Turn inside out and weave yarn in in and out between the loops of the last round. Tighten to close the top of the hat. Finish off and weave in ends.

Flower:

ch 40, beg in 2nd ch from hook, (dc3tog cluster, ch 3, sl st to the same ch) repeat this for a total of 5 petals;

(tr3tog cluster, ch4, sl st to same ch) repeat this for a total of 5 petals;

(dtr3tog cluster, ch 5, sl st to same ch) repeat this for a total of 10 petals.  Finish off and weave in ends.

Roll your flower up to form a rose. I begin rolling at the start of the row (dc3tog petals) since they are the smallest in height. The largest petals (dtr3tog) will be on the outside if you roll it this way. To see an example of how I stitch my roll-up flowers please see this post: Free Flower Embellishment. Stitch through the initial ch 40 row, in multiple directions to hold the flower together and then attach it to your hat. Fluff out the petals as desired (they will go in either direction).
