A New Hat Pattern

I made a new hat inspired by this pattern I found on FB. And I'm pleased to tell you that I've written my first ever hat pattern to share with you all! I used our usual Nona acrylic yarn and a 6/0 gold Tulip hook(3.5mm). I have no idea what weight it is but it will fit a 1 1/2 to a 3year old girl. If you wanted it to be bigger, just add one or two more rounds after the 7th row or use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook. As it is my first written pattern, do let me know if you run into any problems. Here goes :

UPDATE : I have made some corrections somewhere from Row 9-16 as pointed out to me by Sandra & SuperSuus. Thank you for informing me! I'm making another hat with this pattern just so I know where the mistakes are. Please let me know if you come across anymore mistakes. Thanks, Sandra!

Do share a photo of your finished hats on my FB page. I'd love to see them! Have fun!
