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.
