Crocheted Pageboy Hats

My apologies for taking so long to post another project, but things have been crazy! I'd like to share what I've been working on while my daughter and I have been sick. These crocheted hats are fast and fun to make. If I sit down and focus, I can complete a hat in about 2-3 hours. For those of you that do not know how to crochet, I suggest looking at videos on YouTube to see the basics. You can click HERE if you don't want to go through the hassle of searching.

The pattern for this hat is fairly simple. If you want to get into yarn crafts, such as knitting or crocheting, I suggest checking out Ravelry.com. There are tons of free patterns and lots of info to be found there. This pattern is the Cheri Hat Pattern.

For the flower, I cannot remember where I found the pattern, but if I do figure it out, I will credit the source. I will post the written instructions for you. I made 3 rounds of petals for the hats featured in the photos.
     Using a size H hook, chain 4. Join the end to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.

     Round 1: (single crochet in the ring, chain 3) 6 times. Again, join the last stitch to the first single     crochet with a slip stitch.

     Round 2: (single crochet, chain 1, 3 double crochets, chain 1, single crochet) in each space created by the chain 3.

     Round 3: Now you begin working in the back of the flower you have started creating. (single crochet around the first spoke, then chain 4) 6 times. Join last stitch to first stitch with a slip stitch.

     Round 4: (single crochet, chain 1, 5 double crochets, chain 1, single crochet) in each space created by the chain 4.

     Round 5: Repeat round 3, but chain 5 instead of 4. Join last stitch to first with a slip stitch and weave in ends.

     If you want to add another layer of petals, repeat Round 3, increasing the number of stitches in the chain by one, and Round 4, increasing the double crochets by two.

Here is the pattern I used for the Leaves. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I'll help to the best of my ability.
