How perfect for the fall!!  This hat is great through the entire fall season.  From the first fallen leaves all the way through  Thanksgiving!
This pattern is so fun!

My new favorite Fall hat!
 What you will need:

Special notes:

This hat will fit Toddler/Young child.  It fits my 3yo.
You can adjust the pattern to fit any size by simply adding some
Ch’s to your foundation and some extra rows.

Work)

Row2-32: Ch 2, turn, Hdc in each st across.  (28)

You should have the WS facing you after you have finished row 32.  If not, simply add one more row.
With WS facing out, fold the hat in half and Sl St the last row and foundation row together.
Fasten off.

For the top of the hat:
Turn the hat RS out.

Round 1: Ch 1, evenly Sc around the top of the hat.  Join with first Sc.
Round 2: Ch 1, Sc Dec all the way around.  Join with first Sc.
Continue round 2 until you have about 6 sc left.
Once you have about 6 sc left, sc in each st around until you have the stem your desired length.  (My stem is between 2 and 3 inches long)

  3. After round 1, do you turn the work? I'm confused as to where to start row 2. And also how to fold the hat so the ribs are going vertically as shown in the picture. A very cute. hat, but I'm frustrated! Thanks for your help

  4. Oh goodness! Yes, at the end of the row, you turn your work. (I will fix that right now, thanks for pointing it out!)

    After you have finished your last row, you will fold your work in half so the top of your last row is matched with the bottom of the foundation row. When you seam it together, you will have a "tube" and the lines will be horizontal.
    Attach your second color to one of edges of your tube. This will be the top of your hat.
    Hope this helps!
