Flower:
Special stitch: Puff: Yarn over, insert hook in stitch and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull up another loop, repeat 3 more times then pull through all loops on the hook.
Pattern:
Ch 5, sl st into first ch, ch 1 to form ring.
Sc 12 times into the ring.
Puff in first st, ch 1, puff in next st, ch 1, sl st in next st. *In the same st ch 3, puff in same st ch 1, puff in next st ch 1, sl st in next st,* repeat from * around. Sl st in last st to first st to join the flower.
Fasten off leaving a long tail and sew onto hat. (You can sew either side on the hat, I prefer the “puff side” of the flower facing out.
Sew your button onto the hat in the middle of the flower.
Pin it for later!
Would it be possible to miss out the contrasting colour round (I wish to use a yarn colour that is variegated)
Yes you can skip that part if you would like and just do a regular sc row.
Can the flower be made by a novice – someone just learning crochet or is to complicated
I think it can but if it seems too complicated you can always find an easy flower on youtube to attatch 🙂
Confused on hook size. A G hook is 4.00 mm. A 5.00 hook is an H. Which do you use for a baby?
It’s a G size, 4.25 mm hook.
Hi
If you don’t want to use contrasting color should you still sl st the row and SC the next etc
Thanks
You don’t have to if you don’t like the look, you can just make it a sc row instead.
