10. Using a few inches from each tail, secure rosebud in a few places so it will retain its shape.

Notes:
* There are many ideas for this hat. If you don’t want to have the hat stand to tall take away as many rows of 11-17 as needed.

* If you want more height in your hat add more rows in rows 11-17.

* In rows 18 -24 you can add or decrease as many rows as you desire.

* I couldn’t decide if I should continue with one row of red and one row of white, starting at row 11. Or if I should just continue with all white. You choose.

* If you have a leaf pattern you could an a couple of leaves to the rosebud.

* There are many possibilities with this pattern.

For Your Information:

This hat was made with a size I hook. I used Red Heart white and red.

Newborn Happy Hat

I had a VERY difficult time getting enough lighting 

to take a decent pic of this hat! When I started pulling 

my hair out I went downstairs to seek help! Sorry for 

the pics of the den couch and its clutter!

Yep! That's my spouser's pant leg as he hovers over with an 

extra light! I need all the help I can get tonight!

It's a very easy little spiral to make!

Hat Pattern Schedule 2011

I hope everyone's new year is off to a great start! I didn't make any diet resolutions this year! Why bother? I always break that one! ;^)

This is my mom!

She is doing very well!

She has this new contraption that she sits and walks in.

I call it the PVC pipe chair since that's what its made of!

They gave her this chair because she would no longer stay in her wheelchair. She wanted to stand up and go places! She's very wobbly! This chair enables her to walk everywhere! She loves to walk all over the nursing home. 

I guess what I am trying to explain is that my mom is no longer bed ridden (she was for 7 months) and she no longer is staying in one place most of the time. I used to have 5 to 7 hours of crochet time each day and now I am lucky if I get an hour a day. 

This has drastically cut into my hours I spend writing patterns down. I have decided not to commit to posting a pattern once a week or even twice a month. I will post them as I am able to get them done. I have been putting so much pressure on myself since the holidays as I try to figure out how I will accomplish things with mom gratefully so healthy. 

Thank you,

Sherry
