Optional Flower Embellishment

Using your 4 mm (G) crochet hook (or size required for gauge):

Rnd 1: 8 sc in a DMR. [8]

Rnd 2: *Sl st in the fl of the first st, ch 2, beg in 2nd ch from hook (see photo a & b below) crochet 5 fsc, sl st to the bl of the first st (1 petal made)**. Work from * to ** 7 more times. [8 petals]

For Round 3, you will be working in between the petals from the round before, right into the center of the petal (see photos c & d above).

Fold the petal backwards to make it easier!

Rnd 3: Work the following in between each petal from the previous round: (1 sc, ch2, beginning in the 2nd chain from the hook crochet 3 fsc. 1 sc in the same place you worked the first sc). This will create 8 smaller petals.

Proceed to finishing instructions.

Finishing instructions for the flower:

• Finish off and use the finishing end to sew to the hat
• Weave in the beginning yarn end.
• Optional: Pinch the flower together along its center and sew closed on the wrong side (this hides the very center of the flower).
