Second Sunday Hat, Trimmed

Back of Hat with ribbon.

Claire in my hat.

This time I crocheted the hat using a tweedy worsted weight yarn, and trimmed it with some toile ribbon. I just shaped the ribbon and pinned it to the hat. It was a bit difficult to get it to lie flat since the hat was floppy, so I had to have someone stand there with the hat on their head. I stapled a bit of ribbon in a loop for the two ends to go through. I have made a lavender colored hat for Claire, and Anna is making a beige hat for herself. I have found that after making three hats, all of worsted weight, that the different yarns were slightly different sizes anyway, so when making the hat add rows to the crown, sides and brim if you need to, to get it just the size you want.

Here is the pattern which I got from  Beverly Casey at www.geocities.com/Wellesley/7934/flpyhat.html.

Dont join your rounds, you just go round and round. Use a small saftey pin to make the beginning of a row to help you keep track of where to start and end the next row.
