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 :

*You have my permission to sell hats made from this pattern but not the pattern itself. I only ask that you link back to my blog if you sell them online.*

UPDATE : There was a mistake on Row 10 as pointed out to me by Sandra. I've corrected it now. 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!

It's beautiful. Every time I see the hats you make I want to make one for my niece but because she's so far away I'm afraid I'll get the size wrong. I might just give this one a go with some leftover yarn and send it to her to see how it fits.
