My friend Cheryl (Tink) recently bought a hat that I made and had listed on Etsy. She had bought it for her older daughter – who collects hat.

This hat was made with a double strand of yarn and a really cool flower.

OK – now her younger daughter tried it on – was too big, and Tink asked if I could make a slightly smaller hat in purple. This is what I came up with, also with double strands of yarn.

I was getting ready to make a flower for the hat, and figured for a smaller hat, it needed a smaller flower.

OK that works. The flower is just pinned on, for ease of washing.

But… I wanted to do something else, and I searched thru all of my crochet patterns until I found what I was looking for. Voila

This bow uses the lighter of the 2 strands of yarn that I used to make the hat.

Part of the brim is turned up and the bow is pinned through the brim and hat for security.

I hope she likes it. I might even add bows and flowers to my Etsy shop.
