Knitted Hat With Garter Stitch Brim and Flower

knit hat pattern with brim

I am crushing on this cute hat with flower embellishment, big time.  It is so fun to wear and simple to knit.  I knitted the hat last year, then crocheted the flower recently to jazz things up a bit.  It is the perfect addition and I am excited to share how I did it with you.  If you make your own, come share pictures with me, please!

***Pattern***

Worsted or aran weight yarns may be used, but please check gauge.
Gauge 17sts x 26 rows in stockinette stitch = 4 inches or 10cm
Gauge does not have to be exact, as the hat is stretchy.  This pattern makes a hat to fit most teens and adult females.

5.5mm (US #9) dpns or circular needles

If using circular needles, a length of 40 inches is recommended for magic looping throughout.

If you can get the pattern to print, high light the pattern, copy it and then paste it in another document. I put it in an email and sent it to myself. Then you can print it out whenever you want.

Hi, Ilove the blue flower on your pretty hat!
I am trying to make one and I noticed that you have 7 back row petals followed by 6, then 5 on the picture. Then I read the directions for making the flower and there are 11, 11, then 5 petals. Is the direction for a different flower?
Thank you!

I sent you a email for the pattern Cross Comfort Cap. I got the email back. But what i was wanting is the pattern by it’s self. I don’t have the download you have on the pattern

I don’t like all the comments that is at the end, to print out. I think it is a waste of paper. Since I’m on a fixed income. i kit a lot of chemo hats and caps for cancer patiences.

Please just send me the pattern
Sincerely, Mable Somerville rmsomerville@msn.com
