Another New Hat Pattern

PICNIC DATE HAT

 Have you tried making my first hat pattern, yet? Well, here's another one! Inspired by another pattern found on FB. I have no idea what to name this design so I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone. I also thought of doing sort of a giveaway/contest, something to do with this hat and the previous one. I'll think some more about it and will let you all know what I come up with. So, here it is :

I used Nona acrylic yarn and a 6/0 gold Tulip hook(3.5mm). This hat will fit 1-2 year old girls. To make it bigger, add 1-2 more rounds after row 8 or use a bulkier yarn and larger hook.

Special stitches used : 2dc-cluster st(*yo, insert hook in st or space indicated, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, rep from * once more, yo and draw through last 2 loops on hook)

3dc-cluster st(*yo, insert hook in st or space indicated, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, rep from * 2 more times, yo and draw through last 2 loops on hook)

Ch5, join with a sl st to form a ring.

Row 1 : Ch3, 12dc into ring. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 2 : Ch3, dc in same sp. *2dc in next dc*, repeat from * to* around. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 3 : Ch3, dc in same sp. 1dc in next dc. *2dc in next dc, 1dc in next dc*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 4 : Ch 3, dc in same sp. 1dc in next 2 dc. * 2dc in next dc, 1dc in next 2dc*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 5 : Ch3, dc in same sp. 1dc in next 3dc, *2dc in next dc, 1dc in next 3dc*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 6 : Ch3, dc in same sp. 1dc in next 4dc, *2dc in next dc, 1dc in next 4dc, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 7 : Ch3, dc in same sp. 1dc in next 5dc, *2dc in next dc, 1dc in next 5dc, repeat from * to * around. Jion with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 8 : Ch3, dc in same sp. 1dc in next 6dc, *2dc in next dc, 1dc in next 6dc, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch.

Row 9 : Ch1, sc in same st, *ch4, skip 3dc, sc in next dc, ch5, skip 2dc, sc in next dc, ch4, skip 2dc, sc in next 2dc, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to first sc.

Row 10 : Ch3, 2dc-cluster st in next ch3 sp, ch3, 2dc-cluster st, ch5, 2dc-cluster st in next ch5-sp, ch3, 2dc-cluster st in next ch4-sp, ch1. *2dc-cluster st in next ch4-sp, ch3, 2dc-cluster st, ch5, 2dc-cluster st in ch5-sp, ch3, 2dc-cluster st in next ch4-sp, ch1,* repeat around. Join with a sl st to top of ch3.

Row 11 : Ch1, *3sc in ch3-sp, 5sc in ch5-sp, 3sc in ch3-sp, 1sc in ch1-sp*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to first sc.

Row 12 : Ch3, *sk 3 sc, 3dc-cluster st, ch3 in each 5c, sk 3 sc, dc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to top of ch3.

Row 13 : Ch1, sc in same sp, *sc in ch3-sp, ch4, sc in next sp, ch4, sc in next sp, ch4, sc in next sp, sc in dc*, repeat from * to * round.

Row 14-17 : Repeat row 10-13.

Row 18 : Ch1, sc in ea st around. Join with a sl st to first sc.

UPDATE: The hat has a name now! Thanks to Jo of my pangaloon.
