Princess Graph Hats

Hook: I

Material: Worsted Weight Yarn (4) – like RHSS or ILTY
Gauge: 3 rows & 4 stitches = 1”

Hints & Tips:

-          Ch 2 doesn’t count as a st in any round

-          Don’t worry if the hat buckles a bit in the beginning, as you work down the rounds, it rounds out.

-          Giant kudos to the talented crocheting mama over at Stitched After Dark for making up these hats for me so I didn’t have too! I love it when I get to work with this lady. She saved me a bunch of time by making the item so I only had to write the pattern and make the graph! 

-          I only designed the hats and the graph, I did not design the braid. Go HERE to see how that lovely designer did it!
